S8700-series Server Separation

S8700-series server separation allows the two servers in an S8700-series Server pair to be geographically separated up to a maximum distance of 10 kilometers over a fiber-optic link. Separating the servers offers an improved survivability option by allowing servers to reside in two different buildings across a campus or small Metropolitan Area Network. This feature capability is applicable to the S8700-series Servers in both fiber-PNC and IP-PNC configurations.

The sever separation feature works best when each server is accompanied by its own Layer 2 Ethernet switch. For example, in a fiber-PNC system, each server would have an Ethernet switch co-located with it. The two Ethernet switches would be connected using a 100base-FX or Gigabit Ethernet link. For optimum results, the port networks should also be distributed with respect to Ethernet switches.

Note:

S8700-series Server Separation does not provide for separation of duplicated center stage switch port network connectivity (CSS-PNC) in a critical reliability configuration.
