Abstract
A new high performance and fault-tolerant datacenter network for modular datacenters proposed by researchers from NUDT
Highlights
To construct mega-datacenters, the modular datacenter (MDC) first packages thousands of servers, which have been set up and wired, into one shipping container, and connects the containers together by viewing them as large pluggable building blocks
An modular datacenter network (MDCN) consists of intra- and inter-container networks, which largely simplify the design and implementation
A standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container is equipped with 1200–2500 servers, with the number of servers in a container fixed during its lifetime
Summary
To construct mega-datacenters, the MDC first packages thousands of servers, which have been set up and wired, into one shipping container, and connects the containers together by viewing them as large pluggable building blocks. SCautz is able to provide high network throughput for various traffic patterns, and achieves graceful performance degradation when failures occur and increase. Their work, entitled “SCautz: a high performance and fault-tolerant datacenter network for modular datacenters”, has been published in Science China Information Sciences, 2012, Vol 55 (7).
