ToR Switch Demystified: Empowering IT Pros with Networking Insights

[@cyberagent009]

An Excellent primer on networking in data centers. Thanks for the video 👍

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Our pleasure!

[@johnsenchak1428]

I've always learned it as that you put the switch at the top, network equipment in the middle and power equipment ( heavy equipment) at the bottom

[@TechsavvyProductions]

You see them rack up devices in many different ways, but the major data centers tend to follow a pattern.

[@fai1232002]

one of the few master material in detail with illustration, specs, design. excellent industrial insight and thanks for the effort

[@TechsavvyProductions]

thanks for the comment

[@mrd4233]

Master course! I learned a lot! A huge thanks for the demo!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ambggil4773]

Thanks for your great, simple, easy to understand presentation.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thanks for watching!

[@pkfyer330]

I wish I’ve seen this video ages ago! Really summarized everything I struggled on understanding. I’ll be recommending this video here to my new friends getting into the trade. Lol

[@TechsavvyProductions]

It is a complex topic, thanks for watching!

[@sunriseeternity300]

I really like the music choices you make for your videos. I like that they are different from video to video and always have some soul or some feeling to them.. As always thank you for the videos. ive been learning much form them.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Some folks enjoy the music some do not. Having listened to to many well done videos the music set the tone and in some cases helps focus on the presentation. Our goal is to add energy and interest into training. Thanks for the comment.

[@zaur66]

Thank you soooo much for explaining those topics!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zafranullah8328]

Wow, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. Actually I just screwed up (labeling only) a cabinet with 2 TOR switches. I was sent to assist the lead but he didnt do his homework so I went crazy trying to figure out how to do it on the fly. I misread the manual and I labelled one of the 2 tor switches incorrectly. No big deal because those labels were only for me to cable the "Data Vault" (emc vxrail). I hate being stupid on the job so a big THANK YOU for this video. They changed name for TOR1 and TOR2 to PRITOR1 AND PRITOR2 . I guess because it was H.A. I will check out yourother videos when I can. Busy learning Data Domain, Isilon, VXrail and so much more. Seems like Edge computing is starting to go live. New contract requires me to study some model of Dell edge, 5 g. Seems like private cloud is going bye bye and Public is the future. Not good news for the co-lo but this edge device is going in at a Sungard so that must be plan b.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Do not beat yourself up the technology scope that most IT professionals deal with is so vast no one knows it all and if you meet someone who thinks they do ignore them. We all have on the fly learning at times! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@kg4355]

You down with OCP? Yeah you know me! :P Thx for the video and the documentation, really thorough and helpful!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thank you for watching1

[@samjones4327]

Awesome video tutorial!!! I really have a better understanding of datacenter architecture and the various ways datacenters are modeled. Thank you very much and I love your series. I'm learning so much and you're making it easy. Cheers!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Sam, that is the purpose of the videos. Thanks for the feedback.

[@HK-sw3vi]

Love it!

Spline Leaf Topology needs an Abbrivation.... SPL? Haha cheers for the video man

[@TechsavvyProductions]

network engineers love acronyms

[@johnsenchak1428]

One thing you didn't mention is that companies like Netflix and KZbin use backbone CDN 's to distribute content in the east west direction CAT 7 and CAT 8 cables have a much better grounding shield for longer distance

[@TechsavvyProductions]

CDN is huge topic on it's own, thanks!

[@jreamscape]

DOPE video !!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thanks for the feedback and comment!

@@TechsavvyProductions thanks

Oops I thought switch that is based on anonymous TOR network

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thanks for watching!

Can you explain East to West traffic

[@TechsavvyProductions]

East-West traffic in data centers refers to the flow of network traffic that occurs between servers and devices within the same data center, typically across servers, storage systems, or virtual machines (VMs) hosted in the same physical location or cloud infrastructure. This is in contrast to North-South traffic, which involves communication between the data center and external networks or users. Key characteristics of East-West traffic: Lateral Movement: Instead of going in and out of the data center (like North-South traffic), East-West traffic moves laterally between devices, such as between application servers, databases, or virtualized environments inside the data center. Application and Workload Communication: Much of this traffic is generated by applications and services communicating with each other, such as microservices, storage replication, and clustering technologies (e.g., Hadoop clusters or Kubernetes pods). High Volume: In modern data centers, particularly in cloud and virtualized environments, the volume of East-West traffic can far exceed North-South traffic due to the prevalence of distributed systems, where components interact frequently within the data center.
