Diseño de una arquitectura Spine Leaf para la red del data center del campus sur bloque D de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Abstract

The data center of the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana south campus, block D, is very important because it has several functions, the main one is to provide technology resources to help UPS students from Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca, with virtual machines. The data center in block D implements a traditional model which presents bottlenecks because it generates a lot of data traffic. This project proposes a network architecture with the Spine and Leaf model with TIER II certification, in order to eliminate bottlenecks. The idea of the design arises from a visit to the company CNT where this type of network infrastructure in a data center was known for the first time. After the visit to the data center in block D of the UPS south campus and the interview with the people in charge of it, they stated that indeed the network presents problems, although for the moment it is able to meet the needs, with the current architecture there is no longer a capacity for growth in terms of resources available for students. The Spine and Leaf model is intended to improve the current situation of the network and allow the current resources to be used in a better way and with this model it is possible to have a growth in terms of virtualization and storage resources to provide a better service to students and users in general who require services from this data center
