Tech refresh of the RZ network infrastructure
Requirements
As part of a lifecycle refresh and to meet performance, security and automation requirements, the existing core and DC network was to be renewed. The focus was on the use of high-performance 100 Gbps technologies and the possibility of simple management of private networks for segmentation.
Services & Solutions
In preparation for implementation, appropriate concepts were developed and a solution perfectly suited to the customer was developed. In order to meet the requirements, the Controlware experts chose a solution from the manufacturer Cisco Systems in Core and Datacenter, which is characterized by an additional out-of-band management and by the highest availability. Mainly Nexus 9000 systems in various configurations were used, which are managed by the Datacenter Network Management (DCNM) and provide flexibly deployable virtual networks for segmentation. Technologically, a Layer 3 Leaf/Spine design with VXLAN/EVPN was selected. The redundantly designed components are equipped with 100G interfaces and thus offer sufficient performance to meet future applications.
The planning and realization of the project was done in close partnership with the customer's technical department and is completed by the services of Controlware Service Management. The customer relies on Controlware Care Services as the provider of onsite services 24x7x4 to maintain system operations.
Advantages & Benefits
The tech refresh of the data center infrastructure systems enables SIXT to meet the constantly growing demands on the performance of the IT environment and to continue to provide sufficient bandwidth with low latency in the future. By using the new Cisco Datacenter environment, security requirements are also taken into account, while at the same time significantly reducing operational costs.
The new data center thus has a high-performance, secure and easy-to-manage infrastructure that uses state-of-the-art technologies to meet all the goals that have been set.
