Scenario: Expanding Your Data Centre for a New Big Data Analytics Service

Your company has decided to launch a new revenue-generating Big Data Analytics service for customers. This initiative requires expanding your data centre infrastructure to support:

  1. Additional compute capacity (new rack with servers)

  2. Network segmentation for the new service (new routing zone/VRF)

  3. Multiple application tiers for the analytics platform (web front-end and database back-end)

  4. External connectivity for customer access

As the network operations team, you need to implement these changes quickly and reliably. Fortunately, your data centre runs on Apstra, making these operations straightforward and risk-free.
