About the webinar
- Must see.
You'll understand(or get confidence) why not to stretch firewalls and VLANs between DCs. What is the right and the proper way things to be done.
- Vladislav Atanasov
- This webinar provides very nice feedback about challenges and drawbacks while designing active-active data center.
- DENIS AVZALOV
- Very accurate, precise, not only network centric, perfect presentation for peaople who want to have a clear vision of an active/active DC

- Hi Ivan,
The part of this webinar that i have focused on is hybrid cloud , large layer 2 domains and typical real-life designs. I really liked your story-board approach to explaining out Layer 2 connectivity between DC's has evolved. This will form a big part of a message i will be giving to our senior management team as to why i have have been recommending against Layer 2 DCI's. I recently attended a 2 day cisco ACI intro course and i am building the case for it internally. Your hybrid cloud video also hits on lots of concerns i have also. It is very useful to have this collated in the way that you do.
I am coming up to the end of my 2nd year of subscription. We will again subscribe for 2016, it is vital to assisting me in my job and i always recommend your site.
Keep up the great work.
- Nicky Davey
- it was perfect
- Hassan HBAR
- It was great, and don't span VLAN's across data centres, nor try to deploy stretched firewall clusters (unless you're an idiot / twit of course).
- Kristoffer Sheather
- This webinar provides excellent coverage of the main points about A/A data centres.
I would very much like to see it evolve over time to include more advanced topics as well as real world case studies .
- Chen Rajuan
- It's Great because it is about networking but not only. It replaces the network in the big picture of IT and applications hosting.
- Mathieu Millet
- Yes
- Zarar Ismail
- They should doing it to expand their knowledge about datacenters as network engineers.
- Gabriel Sulbaran
- Most Data Center HA/DR courses are based on infrastructure solutions only.
This one has also a strong focus on modern application design and active/active DC.
- Michael Schön
- As ever, Ivan cuts to the quick and provides not just the logical basis for a given design, but a wealth of advice, pointers, gotchas stemming from his extensive real-world experience. What is most valuable to me are those "gotchas" and what NOT to do, again, logically explained. You won't find better material IMHO.

About the instructor
- i like the manner that Ivan explain things
- Hassan HBAR
About the materials
- It would be nice to have more real life examples and references for different size of data centers (private data center, public cloud mid-sized, big service provider). With detail explanation of challenges that they have focused on, which solution that they have chosen and why, how well it has been performing during maintenance.
- DENIS AVZALOV
- I dont usually give 5 stars for everything in surveys as no matter how good something is you cant say it cant be improved. However i have to say i cant fault your webinars, they are so relevant to my job and have impacted on me forming an opinion on DC design more than any other resource i have referenced.
- Nicky Davey
- I would very much like to see it evolve over time to include more advanced topics as well as real world case studies .
- Chen Rajuan
- This will help me demonstrate that other and much more respectable specialists, think like me.
- Mathieu Millet
- It's excellent.
Keep up with the good work.
- Gabriel Sulbaran
- Keep being awesome! I love your directness and how you affirm and enforce what networks and network engineers should be working to deliver, and crucially, what they should *not*. Invaluable perspectives Ivan. Thank you.
