3.3.4 Connectivity
The network connectivity for this environment is designed to eliminate bottlenecks for the testing.
The Ethernet connectivity is 10 Gb with multiple ports per server. Each physical server has two 10 Gb
Ethernet ports. The blade chassis are connected with 40 Gb trunking. Each chassis has a 40 Gb stacking link
between the pair of internal network switches. Each stack is then connected with dual 40 Gb QSFP+
connections to the ToR S5000 switch.
The storage connectivity is also faster than required. Each physical server has two 8 Gb Fibre Channel ports
to the two chassis-based switches. Each chassis switch has two 16 Gb connections to the core Brocade 6506
switches. The storage has four 16 Gb connections.
