Figure 48: Data center hosting private VLAN

The following list outlines the benefits of the hosted data center management solution:

• Easy endpoint provisioning

• Optimal resiliency

• Secure tenant separation

Video surveillance — bridged

In a video surveillance solution, optimal traffic forwarding is a key requirement to ensure proper

operation of the camera and recorder solutions. However, signaling is also important to ensure quick

channel switching. This is achieved by deploying a fabric connect based IP multicast infrastructure

that is optimized for multicast transport, so that the cameras can be selected quickly, and so that

there is no unnecessary traffic sent across the backbone.

Fabric connect enables this solution with support for ERS 8000, VSP 7000, VSP 9000, and the VSP

4000 products.
