The frontend, converged, or access fabric provides storage, application, and external access into the GenAI environment. This fabric uses a combination of traditional Layer 3 such as BGP or a Layer 3 enhancement such as BGP EVPN VXLAN to provide the necessary complementary storage, external GenAI environment access, and GPU cluster management application functions.
The frontend fabric topology is based on a multi-tier network design and uses BGP EVPN VXLAN to provide multitenancy access and extend any Layer 2 network across the BGP EVPN VXLAN fabric.
