Data availability and business resiliency is becoming a critical requirement for a wide range of enterprises. To address these issues, organizations provide dedicated networks to guarantee performance and high availability. However, this approach can involve significant expenses and complexity. Organizations require cost-effective, comprehensive solutions that provide for economical, efficient, and effective deployment of a network that allows business resiliency. Companies today typically deploy two separate networks: one network for Layer 3, and an optical network that is dedicated to virtualization technologies. Today, these virtualization technologies require Layer 2 connectivity, which has caused an expansion of Layer 2 domains. Larger networks must provide the required Layer 2 connectivity to ensure high availability between geographically dispersed data centers. As a result, customers are facing issues such as maintaining the high availability of applications and dealing with complex multi-site interconnections. Companies require a deployment that effectively transports Layer 2 information, which allows a virtualization solution to operate effectively. The solutions in this book offer significant cost savings by eliminating the need for a dedicated optical network.
