9.1.2 Leaf-Spine configuration The data center topology recommended for modern applications to support large amounts of east-west traffic is the leaf-spine topology. Leaf-spine networks are highly scalable and minimize latency by providing all devices no more than one hop to each destination within the data center. For detailed deployment instructions see Dell EMC Networking Layer 3 Leaf-Spine Deployment and Best Practices with OS10. 9.2 Shared leaf-spine data center with iSCSI or SDS The solution in this section provides flexibility in the deployment of traditional iSCSI storage arrays and hyperconverged SDS-based storage solutions. This topology allows for storage to be distributed throughout the data center. It is highly scalable and supports large amounts of east-west traffic that is common in modern data centers. Shared leaf-spine data center 9.2.1 Leaf-spine deployment This solution provided is the deployment of a leaf-spine architecture. For detailed deployment instructions, see Dell EMC Networking Layer 3 Leaf-Spine Deployment and Best Practices with OS10. 9.2.2 vSAN deployment with SDS example Software-defined storage can be implemented through several solutions. VMware vSAN is an example of a SDS solution that can be deployed in various data center architectures. Other examples of SDS include Dell EMC VxFlex OS and Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct. For detailed vSAN deployment instructions, see Dell EMC Networking Deploying VMware vSAN with OS10 Enterprise Edition. 23 Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Storage Overview
