ARCH v Increasing Scalability for the Entire Server Farm Scalable access module supports high throughput of traffic and delivery into the Server Distribution submodule. Single Layer 2 domain allows spanning of IP subnets. Highly modular Highly available Highly secure

11 © 2004 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. ARCH v Server Farm Manageability Considerations Identify critical devices and applications. Create an operations and support plan. Implement 24x7 monitoring of servers and network equipment. Implement problem resolution procedures. Create a business continuity plan in case of natural disaster.

ARCH v Summary The primary objectives in the design of an enterprise Server Farm (or data center) are performance, scalability, availability, security, and manageability. The enterprise Server Farm module may contain an access layer and a distribution layer, similar to the Campus Infrastructure module, and connected to the Campus Backbone submodule. Every Server Farm module must provide scalability. The Server Farm module design has important security and manageability considerations.
