This paper considers the requirements for a scalable, easily manageable, fault-tolerant, and
efficient data center network fabric. Trends in multi-core processors, end-host virtualization …

To be agile and cost effective, data centers should allow dynamic resource allocation across
large server pools. In particular, the data center network should enable any server to be …

A fundamental challenge in data center networking is how to efficiently interconnect an
exponentially increasing number of servers. This paper presents DCell, a novel network …

To be agile and cost effective, data centers must allow dynamic resource allocation across
large server pools. In particular, the data center network should provide a simple flat …

Today's data centers may contain tens of thousands of computers with significant aggregate
bandwidth requirements. The network architecture typically consists of a tree of routing and …

The data center network is increasingly a cost, reliability and performance bottleneck for
cloud computing. Although multi-tree topologies can provide scalable bandwidth and …

This SpringerBrief presents a survey of data center network designs and topologies and
compares several properties in order to highlight their advantages and disadvantages. The …

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

The goal of data center networking is to interconnect a large number of server machines with
low equipment cost, high and balanced network capacity, and robustness to link/server …

This paper presents BCube, a new network architecture specifically designed for shipping-
container based, modular data centers. At the core of the BCube architecture is its server …
