Siemens PLM Software : 10G Datacenter & N/w Redundancy
A10G Datacenter with network redundancy at core and access layers to provide high-speed data transfers
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
Siemens PLM has grown considerably in past seven years and required frequent
expansion of its network. Earlier network topology used in the company did not
provide flexibiity of load balancing & redundancy at core & access layers. Nor
was it enough to sustain the increasing network load of bandwidth hungry
applications. To solve these issues Siemens PLM has built fault tolerance at
network level by providing network redundancy at core & access layers. The
company designed 10G datacenter considering the future growth and bandwidth
hungry applications they plan to implement in future. The data center is
designed on 10G Shielded copper system of AMP netconnect. Data center uses the
Centralized Network Architecture (CNA) topology. This topology provides
centralized control and monitoring of the network, trouble shooting is faster as
compared to Distributed Network Architecture (DNA). With implementation of four
Key components for Datacenter: Power, cooling, Monitoring &Management and
Operational security & safety Siemens PLM have built a Tier IV Datacenter and
have managed to achieve 99.999% uptime.
