Baku. Aynur Veliyeva - APA-Economics. Work on the establishment of a new Data Center has continued to progress and is on track for completion, said Delta Telecom, the fast growing service provider in the Caucasus region.

The company said construction-decoration work and installation of air-conditioning system is under way in the two-storied building for the Data Center.

The shipment of equipment (servers, uninterruptible power supply, etc.) will soon be delivered and the Data Center is slated to come online in a month.

Today data centers deploy different networks based on distinct interconnect technologies to transport different traffic from different applications; for example, storage traffic is transported over Fibre Channel-based SAN or InfiniBand, client-server application traffic is handled by an Ethernet-based LAN, while server-to-server IPC may be supported over one of various interconnects such as InfiniBand or Myrinet. A typical server in a high-performance data center has multiple interfaces (Ethernet, FC, InfiniBand) to allow it to be connected to the various disparate networks.

With data centers becoming bigger and more complex, managing different interconnect technologies for traffic from each application is becoming cost- and resource-intensive. With recent advances in speeds of Ethernet (10 Gbit/s is already standard and 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s are in development) it has become an attractive choice as the technology of convergence in the data center.

Another motivating factor for convergence is the consolidation of servers brought about by the advent of blade servers. Today, blade servers need to accommodate their backplane designs to support multiple interconnect technologies. Using a single interconnect technology such as Ethernet can simplify backplane designs, thereby reducing overall costs and power consumption.
