The increasing popularity of both small and large private clouds and expanding public
clouds poses new requirements to data center (DC) architectures. First, DC architectures …

Data centers present many interesting challenges, such as extreme scalability, location
independence of workload, fault-tolerant operation, and server migration. While many data …

Designing a cost-effective network topology for data centers that can deliver sufficient
bandwidth and consistent latency performance to a large number of servers has been an …

Recent trends to pack data centers with more CPUs per rack have led to a scenario in which
each individual rack may contain hundreds, or even thousands, of compute nodes using …

Emerging data-center network designs seek to provide physical topologies with high
bandwidth, large bisection capacities, and many alternative data paths. Yet, existing …

The increasing need of cloud and big data applications requires data center networks to be
