Deployment options for deploying devices with SFS include:
- Single rack deployment - A two-leaf SmartFabric is deployed in a single rack. All devices in the rack are connected to the two leaf switches, and a server cluster is built.
- Expand single rack deployment to multirack – The two-leaf SmartFabric is expanded to multirack by adding spine switches to connect the racks and two leaf switches per rack. Devices in the additional racks are connected to the additional SmartFabric leaf switches and are joined to the existing cluster.
- Multirack deployment – A multirack SmartFabric with spines and two leaf switches per rack is deployed. Devices are installed in multiple racks and connected to the SmartFabric leaf switches in each rack.
