Available from IBM Global Technology Services
In Equinix data centers chosen for proximity to SoftLayer compute for low latency
* * Seattle location requires a cross-connect from the Westin
14
© 2014 NetApp, Inc. All rights reserved.
What Is the Role of Equinix in the Solution?
 Equinix provides carrier-neutral
access to the SoftLayer cloud
 Equinix data centers are
geographically close to SoftLayer
compute to provide low latency
 Equinix has a global footprint
 Equinix data centers provide
state-of-the-art security and
operational availability so that
your data is secure and available
15

Equinix is not a service provider
The carrier-neutral aspect of Equinix
offers flexibility to connect NetApp®
storage to multiple clouds and networks
What Types of NetApp Storage Can Be Used?
 Both 7-Mode and clustered
Data ONTAP® operating
modes can be used in the
solution
 Clustered Data ONTAP
operating mode is highly
recommended
 Testing of E-Series storage
with iSCSI with the solution is
under way

Customer Network Equipment Requirements
Required Features
Optional Features
 Border Gateway Protocol
 Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
protocol
 Direct Link® uses only BGP for routing
 9/125 single-mode fiber (1Gbps or
10Gbps) Ethernet port
 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports
 Used to connect or manage NetApp® storage
 Support for 802.1Q VLAN tags
 This is used to help support routing between
NPS regions or back to on premises
 Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF)
 Support for isolation of routing when using
multiple Direct Link VLAN connections
 Redundant network switches
 10Gbps Ethernet ports
 Used to connect to NetApp storage
17

Connecting SoftLayer Compute to NetApp Storage
 IP storage protocols (iSCSI, NFS,
or CIFS) can be used to connect
SoftLayer compute to NetApp
Private Storage
 Check https://support.netapp.com/matrix
for supported iSCSI SAN connectivity
elements
 SoftLayer Virtual Servers connect
at the guest level – no RDM or
pass through LUNs
 SoftLayer Bare Metal Servers can
run hypervisors as well as
operating systems

SoftLayer Direct Link Network Architecture
 SoftLayer® uses 802.1q VLANs to
segregate and route network traffic
 Each VRF routes a single VLAN using
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
 SoftLayer connections can be partitioned
into multiple connections segregated by
VLAN
 VLAN interfaces on the NetApp® storage
segregate access to specific SVMs
 Routing is segregated by using the virtual
routing and forwarding (VRF) feature on
the switch
19

 Supports secure multi-tenancy
Solution Deployment Workflow
Step 1
Order SoftLayer™
Compute and Network
Step 2
Create SoftLayer
Direct Link
Step 3
Configure Local
Network
Step 4
Configure Storage
and Connect
 Order virtual
servers or bare
metal servers in
the location
where NPS will
be deployed
 Use SoftLayer
portal to order a
Direct Link
connection
 Ensure that the
Direct Link
cross connect is
patched
correctly
 Configure
NetApp network
connectivity
 SoftLayer
account will be
created with
order

 SoftLayer LOA
is generated
 Request BGP
Peering
addresses,
VLAN, and BGP
auth key
 Configure the
network switch
with the BGP
information
provided by
SoftLayer
 Verify network
connectivity
from SoftLayer
network to local
network

Considerations for the Architect
 What latencies can my applications tolerate?
 In what geographic regions can I place my data?
 What are my security and compliance
requirements?
 Do I need the ability to connect to additional
clouds?
 What is the cost model of running a workload type
in the cloud?
