advice for new netwotk project with stretched cluster
Hi, i need an advice to new project, i need to connect 2 datacenter distant about 500 meter.
I will create a streched cluster with microsoft s2d. So i think that 4300 12x12f would be fine for start the project.
now the questions:
1) can i create a stack with 4 switches (2 for each datacenter)?
2) i saw that this model can do pfc but not Data Center Bridging, right? PFC alone is enough for RDMA?
3) support iwarp?
4) if i create a stack with four 10Gb channels theoretically i will have a 40Gb bandwidth, but exactly how it works? use a sort of load balancing algorithm?
thanks
Andrea
Model: XSM4324S|M4300-12X12F - Stackable Managed Switch with 24x10G including 12x10GBASE-T and 12xSFP+ Layer 3
iWARP is not supported since it is not mentioned in the M4300 data sheet here as well as in the M4300 user manual here.
