Nice article on how to build #greenfield #data centers

Thought I would share as the author shares my views on the over hyping of large L2 domains.  Cisco & Brocade are certainly pushing this agenda

And no surprise...both of these companies have absolutely hitched their future on one technology. FCOE.  And to do FCOE, you need large L2 domains.  

So...funny because back when I was at Cisco in the 90's, we fought against and beat another company, Cabletron, that was very focused on selling large L2 networks.  Remember Secure Fast Switching?  Yeah..complete failure!!!!
