Siemens PLM Software : 10G Datacenter & N/w Redundancy

Siemens PLM has grown considerably in past seven years and required frequent

expansion of its network. Earlier network topology used in the company did not

provide flexibiity of load balancing & redundancy at core & access layers. Nor

was it enough to sustain the increasing network load of bandwidth hungry

applications. To solve these issues Siemens PLM has built fault tolerance at

network level by providing network redundancy at core & access layers. The

company designed 10G datacenter considering the future growth and bandwidth

hungry applications they plan to implement in future. The data center is

designed on 10G Shielded copper system of AMP netconnect. Data center uses the

Centralized Network Architecture (CNA) topology. This topology provides

centralized control and monitoring of the network, trouble shooting is faster as

compared to Distributed Network Architecture (DNA). With implementation of four

Key components for Datacenter: Power, cooling, Monitoring &Management and

Operational security & safety Siemens PLM have built a Tier IV Datacenter and

have managed to achieve 99.999% uptime.
