Platform use in the different Data Center layers

This section helps you to identify how Cisco Unified Data Center Products such as Nexus, Storage, and UCS are placed in different layers of Cisco Three tier Architecture as Core, Distribution, and Access layer. These products are now categorised below as per layer

Cisco DC Products in Single-Tier Ethernet Architecture

  • All core, aggregation and access layers devices are at one layer.
  • Cisco Nexus 7000 switches can be used for both access and core layer connection.
  • Nexus 5500 platform can also be used as core layer for L3 , but not support advance features such as MPLS.
  • The extension of single tier architecture can be done by connecting Nexus 2200 platform extender as TOR ( Top-Of-Rack ) design

Cisco DC Products in Dual -Tier Ethernet Architecture

  • All core, aggregation layers are used at one layer.
  • Cisco Nexus 7000 could be used for both aggregation and core layer connection in DataCenter Connectivity.
  • For EoR (End-Of-Row) design Cisco Nexus 5000 or 5500 could be used for access layer connection.
  • Nexus 2200 platform extender can be used to extend dual tier architecture by connecting it as TOR (Top-Of-Rack) design.
  • For Storage Layer Cisco MDS 9000 series Multilayer switches is used for  San connection at storage core layer.

Cisco Products in Three -Tier Ethernet Architecture

  • At Access layer Cisco Nexus 5000 or 5500 Platform along with the Nexus 2000 series Fex Extender solution for server or host connectivity.
  • Cisco MDS 9000 series Multilayer switches at access layer for San connection.
  • At core layer Cisco Nexus 7000 Platform is used for L3 and connectivity between Core and distribution layer.
  • At distribution layer Cisco Nexus 7000 Platform (VDC) or Cisco 5000/5500 platform is used.
