A company is redesigning their data center network architecture to reduce latency and enhance redundancy for handling large volumes of internal traffic. Which topology should they implement to best meet these requirements?
The spine and leaf topology is ideal for modern data centers because it provides high-capacity, low-latency communication between servers. Each leaf switch connects directly to every spine switch, creating multiple equal-cost paths that minimize bottlenecks and increase fault tolerance compared with traditional three-tier or star designs.
