Datacenter Design Competencies
Spine-Leaf Switching Fabric Design & NDFC Automation
Modern virtualized workloads and AI compute require deterministic, non-blocking East-West throughput with ultra-low latency. We architect scalable Spine-Leaf fabrics leveraging Cisco Nexus switches and automated orchestration platforms.
Using Cisco NDFC (Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller), we automate fabric provisioning, zero-touch configuration deployment, telemetry streaming, and automated compliance auditing.
Fabric Test Assurance & Validation
- • Full BGP Peering & Convergence Testing: Sub-second link failover validation across redundant spine switches without disruption.
- • Micro-Burst & Buffer Overflow Verification: Traffic generation to model peak burst scenarios and optimize ECN queue thresholds.
- • Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) Audits: Verification of automated configuration templates and rollback integrity across all leaf switches.
Rack Layout, Cross-Connect & Patching Design
Flawless physical infrastructure is essential for long-term operational efficiency and rapid maintenance. We design high-density structured cabling, rack elevations, and optical distribution frames (ODF).
Our cabling engineering blueprints ensure clear separation of power and data, standardized labeling schemas, and scalable MPO/MTP optical trunking that supports seamless 100G/400G/800G upgrades.
- ✓ Rack Elevation & Equipment Layout: 3D rack elevation diagrams detailing Top-of-Rack (ToR) and Middle-of-Row (MoR) placement.
- ✓ High-Density MPO/MTP & LC Fiber Trunks: OM4 / OS2 pre-terminated trunk cabling with modular breakout cassettes.
- ✓ Structured Cross-Connect Systems: Main Distribution Area (MDA) and Zone Distribution Area (ZDA) design.
- ✓ Cable Runway & Overhead Pathways: Overhead fiber raceway and underfloor basket tray layout to eliminate airflow restriction.
Physical Design & Cabling Standards
Strict physical tier rating compliance for redundancy, pathway separation, and fire safety.
End-face microscopic inspection, insertion loss (OLTS), and OTDR characterization.
Cooling & Power Infrastructure Design
Optimizing energy efficiency (PUE), thermal dissipation, and redundant power delivery for high-density compute environments.
Cooling & Thermal Airflow Modeling
Comprehensive airflow engineering designed to eliminate hotspots and ensure steady operating temperatures for high-power server racks.
- ✓ Hot Aisle / Cold Aisle Containment: Physical aisle containment designs preventing air mixing and lowering cooling costs by up to 30%.
- ✓ In-Row & Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling Planning: Engineering for 30kW+ high-density GPU compute racks in modern AI environments.
- ✓ Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Review: Modeling airflow patterns, static pressure, and thermal velocity.
Power Distribution & UPS Backup Architecture
Fail-safe electrical topology design ensuring uninterrupted power feed to mission-critical datacenter equipment.
- ✓ A+B Redundant Power Path Design: Isolated feed pathways from dual independent sub-stations to rack PDUs.
- ✓ Smart Switched & Monitored PDUs: Per-outlet power metering, environmental temperature sensors, and remote power cycling.
- ✓ UPS & Generator Backup Sizing: Modular N+1 and 2N UPS battery backup calculation with clean generator transfer switching.
