Cisco GENI RackA collaboration between development partners (RENCI, NetApp, ePlus) to deliver a Data-center class ‘GENI Rack’ based on Cisco networking and server products

• Compute – UCS B-series servers and Fabric Interconnects

• Network – Nexus and Catalyst switches, ASA VPN concentrator

• Storage – Onboard disks and NetApp FAS solution

• NetApp FAS server(s) provide Data-center class scalable storage option (www.netapp.com)

• Software – GENI software stack provided by RENCI’s ExoGENI project

• (http://www.exogeni.net)

• Installation and support services – offered by ePlus

RENCI ExoGENI Software Stack• ExoGENI is a collection of proven open-source software modules

• Federation and resource orchestration using ORCA (Open Resource Control Architecture) software funded by NSF and GENI

Developed by Duke University and RENCI

• ExoGENI software successfully deployed in active GENI racks today

• Same ORCA and GENI AM API’s as used on existing ExoGENI racks

NetApp FAS Line of Storage

(FAS2200/FAS3200/FAS6200)

NetApp Storage - Agile Scaling

• One OS - NetApp Storage is Built on the Industry leading Storage OS – Data ONTAP. A single OS powers the entire line of NetApp FAS products.

• Scalable – supports growth of a few Terabytes to multiple Petabytes.

• Resilient – built-in features like SnapShots, FlexClone, RAID-DP(6), and SnapMirror simplify backup and replication, while ensuring data is protected.

• Unified Architecture – as requirements change, support for common protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS/SMB is built-in.

• Efficient – features include deduplication, compression, solid-state caching, thin provisioning and cloning. Reducing required disk storage and reducing deployment windows.
