These devices may need to communicate with other hardware within the same DC, often involving high-volume data throughput. Consequently, the network must fulfill specific requirements, which we will analyze, to achieve a scalable, reliable, and redundant configuration. The premise of this article assumes that the DC is owned by a single organization, such as the Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma (OAR), which hosts several international projects but does not provide colocation (housing) services.ELETTRONICOenTechnical reporthttps://doi.org/10.20371/INAF/TechRep/395
