An enterprise data center is experiencing scalability challenges and inefficient east-west traffic flow with its current three-tier network architecture. The network engineers are looking to redesign the network to enhance scalability, reduce latency, and improve redundancy. Which network topology architecture should they consider implementing?
They should consider implementing a spine-leaf architecture. The spine-leaf design is specifically tailored for data centers that require high scalability and efficient east-west traffic flow. In this topology, every leaf switch connects to every spine switch, ensuring consistent latency and bandwidth. This structure enhances scalability by allowing easy addition of spine or leaf switches without significant reconfiguration. Two-tier architectures may not provide the necessary scalability and performance improvements. SOHO architectures are intended for small office/home office environments and are unsuitable for large data centers. WAN architectures focus on wide area connectivity rather than internal data center design.
