VMDC 2.3
Lower Cost, Higher Tenancy Scale VMDC design
Based on VMDC 2.2, with some optimizations in the architecture to achieve higher tenancy scale, with
lower cost.
Increased tenant scale - can support upto 500 mixed tenants in a Pod, and 2000 in a DC
Lower VM scale per can support upto 6000 VMs in a Pod, and 24000 in a DC.
VRF-Lite and vPC based architecture - VMDC 2.x aligned
Collapsed Core/Aggregation layer uses smaller Nexus 7004 platform with F2 modules to reduce
cost. Can use other Nexus 7000 form-factors and modules for higher port-density.
ASA/ACE appliances directly connected to Nexus 7004 no 6500-DSN layer
ASR 1006 as DC-PE. Can use other ASR form factors for higher port-density.
Architecture works with Vblock, FlexPod or any other integrated compute stacks. For validation, a
