Over the last few years we have seen virtualisation revolutionise the Data Centre not only on server platforms but also virtual switches and load balancers. The ability to be able to move a virtual server between physical platforms has given us the capability to dynamically balance our server requirements across the available hardware platforms.

The logical extension of this is to expand this to have multiple data centres in different physical locations, nice idea, but not without a number of new challenges,

• How do you move a virtual server between physical locations, keeping the same IP address and MAC address, when you don’t have a dedicated layer 2 network between the sites?
• How do you route traffic to the alternative site directly without it having to flow through the primary data centre, dynamically?

These new challenges have spawned a new suite of technologies like OTV, TRILL, Fabricpath and LISP.

It’s important to know what these new technologies can do for you in your data centre design. There is a big difference between knowing how they are used together to ensure your infrastructure can cope with whatever disaster may fall it, or fail because what you really have is an expensive mistake, whose whole design is in fact reliant on device continuing to function, in what is a now non operational data centre.
