Nexus VPC Datacenter Architecture





I came across two different architecture for Nexus VPC data center deployment

1. Single Homed
2. Dual Homed


Single Homed

     


Advantages 
Redundant teaming configurations from the servers to the fabric extenders.

Dual Homed



Here we add few disadvantages as well.

Disadvantages

Port configuration should match on both switches (5K FEX)
Complex Design

Out of both designs, i would recommend Single homed Design.
