Data Centre Network Optimization

Abstract

Technology has advanced quite quickly in recent years, and IT and telecom infrastructure is constantly growing. Due to an increased importance and emphasis of cloud computing many growing and emerging enterprises have shifted their computing needs and wants ultimately to the cloud, which leads to increase in inter-server data trafficking and also the bandwidth required for Data Centre Networking (DCCN). Actually this multi-tier hierarchical architecture used in modern data centres is based on traditional Ethernet/fabric switches. Researchers goal was to improve the data centre communication network design such that the majority of its problems can be solved while still using the existing network infrastructure and with lower capital expenditures. This is achieved through the deployment of OpenFlow (OF) switches and the Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) based all Optical Switching (MAOS). This will be beneficial in decreasing network latency, power consumption, and CAPEX costs in addition to helping with scalability concerns, traffic management, and congestion control. Additionally, by implementing new virtualization techniques, we may enhance DCCN's resource consumption and cable problems. In order to address data centre challenges, the researcher came up with an entirely new novel flat data centre coordination network architecture which is named as “Hybrid Flow based Packet filtering” (HFPFMAOS), forwarding, and MEMS which is entirely based on optical switching, and will be finally controlled by Software Defined Network (SDN) controller.
