the business units to find out the types of isolation required, the address spaces to
be used, and the types of networks that exist and need to be leveraged. Do certain
types of traffic require guaranteed bandwidth, which would dictate the use of
separate networks or use QoS technologies?
2 . Design. Take the information that you have discovered and translate it to SCVMM
architectural components. Consider any changes to process as part of virtual
environments. This may be an iterative process because physical infrastructure
such as hardware switches may limit some options and the design for the virtual
network solution may need to be modified to match capabilities of physical
infrastructure.
3 . Deployment. Configure SCVMM with a networking design and deploy the
configuration to hosts, virtual machines, and clouds.SCVMM Networking Architecture
The first architectural component for SCVMM is the logical network, which helps
model your physical network infrastructure and connectivity in SCVMM. Consider
your virtualization environment and the networks to which the hosts and the virtual
machines will need to connect. In most datacenters, at a minimum you would see
something like Figure 3.13.
Figure 3.13 Common networks seen in a datacenter with virtualization
In this common datacenter, the various types of networks have different connectivity,
different capabilities, and different routing available. The networks may require
isolation from each other by using various technologies, which is explained in more
detail later. Remember, these are just examples. Some datacenters will have many
more. Here are the types of networks you could have:
The Internet You may have customers or users who access the network via the
Internet and connect to the Internet through various routes, so systems with
Internet connectivity will likely need to be modeled as a separate network.
Corporate This is usually the primary network in your company where users
