Data
Center
We at Corvit Networks believe that there are four objectives
in the design of any high performance data center:
Security
A complete network security solution includes authentication,
authorization, data privacy, and perimeter security.
Availability
Networks are designed with steps to minimize the occurrence
of service problems and the time to recover from problems
(such as backup recovery policies)
Scalability
This requires server load balancing. Advanced data centers
should also have the ability to automatically and immediately
identify and replicate hot content to overflow or backup
servers or cache to ensure the ability to support the
increased demand without compromising performance.
Manageability
Good manageability tools and qualified personnel supporting
the infrastructure translate into lower operations costs,
since time is not wasted trying to resolve indications
from conflicting management systems and higher customer
satisfaction.
Cabling
All cable runs located under raised flooring and appropriately
marked
All cable runs physically protected from damage via tie-downs
or where appropriate in conduit
All cabling designed to Category 6 specifications (to
support 1-Gbps data rates)
Today's business and competitive environment requires
that each of these objectives be considered from a complete
end-to-end perspective. Clients or users connecting to
the data center measure performance by timely access to
the desired application data, whether the connection is
point to point or via an Internet connection. The user
must perceive reasonable response and connection time.
