Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) free network inside Data Centre is main focus for network vendors and many technologies have been introduced in recent past to resolve STP issues in data centre and ensure optimal link utilization. Advent of switching modules inside blade enclosures coupled with the requirements for optimal link utilization starting right from blade server has made today’s Data Centre network more complex.
In this blog , we will discuss how traditional model of network switches placement (End of Row) can be coupled with blade chassis with different options available for end to end connectivity / high availability.
Network Switches are placed in End of Row and in order to remove STP Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) is deployed. Please see one of my earlier blog for understanding of MC-LAG.
Option 1: Rack mounted servers for computing machines, servers have installed multiple NICs in Pass-Though module and Virtual Machines hosted inside servers require Active/Active NIC Teaming.
Option 2 : Blade Chassis has multiple blade servers and each blade servers has more than 1 NIC (which are connected with blade chassis switches through internal fabric link). Virtul Machines hosted inside blade servers require active/active NIC teaming.
Option 3 : Blade Chassis Continue reading

Following LinuxCon Europe in Berlin last week, we organized a first of its kind Docker event called Docker Distributed Systems Summit. This two day event was an opportunity for core Docker engineers and Docker experts from the community to learn, collaborate, problem-solve and hack around the next generation of distributed systems in areas such as orchestration, networking, security and storage.
More specifically, the goal of the summit was to dive deep into Docker’s infrastructure plumbing tools and internals: SwarmKit, InfraKit, Hyperkit, Notary, libnetwork, IPVS, Raft, TUF and provide attendees with the working knowledge of how to leverage these tools while building their own systems.
We’re happy to share with you all the videos recordings, slides and audio files available as #dockercast episodes!
All the slides from the summit are available on the official Docker slideshare account.
Please join us in giving a big shout out to our awesome speakers for creating and presenting the following projects:
