Some of the key takeaways are the exponential growth of data and traffic, rapid expansion of data centers, and need for higher quality and flexible networks.

Some of the trends driving data center network transformation include server and storage virtualization, rapid growth of cloud computing, big data analytics, and need to improve resource usage and deployment flexibility.

Challenges in network virtualization include how to flexibly deploy and migrate VMs, provision tenant networks on demand, isolate a large number of tenants, and implement smooth evolution from traditional to virtual networks while protecting initial investments.

Architecture Orthogonal Architecture
Orthogonal Architecture of LPUs and SFUs
• On core switches, the cabling between LPUs and SFUs greatly affects the slot bandwidth.
• In the traditional architecture, the length and rate of the backplane link affect the bandwidth and evolution
capability of the entire system.
• The CloudEngine 16800 uses an orthogonal architecture, which requires no backplane cabling. This
architecture greatly improves system bandwidth and scalability.

Case: An O&M engineer at a site configures FabricInsight to automatically push the network health evaluation report at 08:00 every morning. After receiving the report on
the current day, the O&M engineer finds that the health score is lower than that of the previous day. Then, the O&M engineer detects and resolves the issue based on the
anomalies and rectification suggestions in the report. After the optimization, the health score becomes normal, and there is no open issue.
