Two-Tier Data Center Reference Design — Focus on the Aggregation-Core Tier

Two-Tier Data Center Reference Design — Focus on the Aggregation-Core Tier

The slide illustrates a two-tier data center reference design. The major architectural elements of the design are the consolidated core and aggregation tiers, services, the access tier, and storage and servers. Management of all data center devices covers all areas

The function of the aggregation-core tier is simply to interconnect all of the access tier silos with the rest of the world
