The document discusses load balancer design considerations and deployment options in Cisco ACI, specifically with F5 BIG-IP from three aspects: network design, F5 design, and multi-tenant design. This document covers features up to Cisco ACI Release 5.2. One of the key considerations of the network design with load balancer is to ensure incoming and return traffic go through the same load balancer (one exception is direct server return (DSR), which doesn't have this requirement). There are various options you can use to insert the load balancer. One way is to use the load balancer as a gateway for servers or as a routing next hop for routing instances. Another option is to use Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) on the load balancer or use ACI Policy-Based Redirect (PBR) to make the return traffic go back to the load balancer.

400G ZR+ is a disruptive technology that delivers 400G optical transmission in standard and interoperable pluggable form factors. With sourcing from multiple suppliers, 400G ZR+ promises to bring improved economics to service providers for transporting 100GbE, and growing 400GbE client traffic, all while being superior to 800G solutions that rely on expensive embedded and proprietary technology. This paper explores how service providers can quickly capitalize on all of the benefits of 400G ZR+ and essentially change the economics for IP and Optical transport.

This document provides design considerations for understanding, configuring, and troubleshooting Dell PowerScale scale-out NAS external networking. In a scale-out NAS environment, the overall network architecture must be configured to maximize the user experience. Many factors contribute to overall network performance. This document examines network architecture design and best practices, including factors such as latency, flow control, ICMP, MTU, jumbo frames, congestion, TCP/IP parameters, and IPv6.

As Intel’s business grows, demand for data center network capacity has increased by more than 25% annually. Additionally, business pressures require new capacity to be brought into production within 24 hours. As far back as 2014, we recognized the potential of software-defined networking (SDN) to help meet these challenges.

The future is digital, and the race is on. Businesses across the world are approaching a crucial juncture where those who have the ability to adapt their operations to a rapidly evolving landscape will have the edge over their competitors. The number of devices communicating across the network has been growing exponentially, but that number is about to explode as the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to become a reality. As a result, it has never been more important to ensure that the edge of a business’ network is robust, secure and can be upgraded with the speed needed to capitalise on changing business environments.
