Hi all,
My next job will be for a hosting company. Mostly seperate domains with Dcs, Citrix farms, DB servers etc for each customer, some VMware (rising) and a few websites. Customers 80 and about 800 servers.
They are migrating to a full Cisco network for which they hired a company to do the design of the network.
Is there a kind of generic design schema or design considerations for this kind of environment?
Thanx,
Jaap Laaij

If they're good they will model off of the Solution Reference Design Guides. They can be found here-

Hope that helps

I used to work a hosting Service Provider so I
do have some experience with the design
- create a Admin network for the Network
Operations, Engineering, Backup/restore where
the provider will be using to access multiple
customers' network
- put in a firewall for each customer. Now
for hosting provider, most of them use
Checkpoint Firewall instead of Cisco because
Checkpoint has Provider-1 where it can manage
hundred if not thousands of customer's firewalls,
- put in global rule for network Operations,
backup,restore to access customer's equipments
-For each customer's firewall, you will
interfaces connecting to Internet, Admin
and any interfaces for Citrix, Web, DB, etc...
This is a classic design that has been used
for years by Managed hosting companies.
