Converged Networks
The words converged network can mean several things to a network engineer: (1) a single network designed to handle voice, video, and data; (2) an internal network where the Layer 3 devices, such as routers, have a complete routing table to be able to accurately and efficiently send data to a remote destination; and (3) a switch network that has completed calculations that result in a single path through the switch network. In this chapter, we explore the first description.
1. Quick Deployment – Converged infrastructures come complete with all of the pre-packaged components needed to operate an infrastructure – from networking to cabling, virtualized storage, and beyond. These various pieces are all pre-configured by certified experts before they even leave the factory, which means you are getting a certified solution. Even a person who is not a storage expert can deploy this system in a matter of minutes versus days.
2. Reduced Deployment Risk – Going hand-in-hand with a streamlined deployment, converged infrastructures also help companies reduce the risks and unexpected costs associated with deployments. You no longer need extra teams and specialized experts to help strategize the addition of a customized piece of hardware to your infrastructure puzzle.
3. Extended Maintenance and Support – By using a tested and validated design, companies gain assurance when it comes to performance power and longevity. An added perk is that you also gain access to continued support, including coding updates, software patches, and even new software versions.
4. Simplified Management – Say goodbye to server sprawl. One system allows for a single point of management for your entire infrastructure. Also, one vendor eliminates the many complex support contracts that run rampant through diverse data centers. One supplier can address any concerns that arise – without dealing with the blame game.
5. Scale with Ease – Operations starting to burst at the seams? Adding a machine component is as easy as placing a new order – no major planning or configurations required. Without a complex setup, you can install that new system in a matter of minutes.
