A novel framework for optimal component based data center architecture

Abstract

With the tremendous growth of applications and wide demand of high performance architecture, the demand for virtual or cloud based architecture is also growing. The architecture demand focused on computing, storage and networking is directing the research towards the cloud based data centers. The migration towards the cloud based data centers from the traditional data centers is the recent trends of the modernization of architecture to match the demand of high performance computing. However the optimal settings of hardware availability based on the utilization, up time and cost factors is yet to be determined. Also the generic performance and setup differences between traditional data centers and cloud based data centers are also to be defined. The recent progress of the researches limit to justify the complexities of cloud based data center architecture. Moreover the most suitable performance matrix to evaluate the data center hardware performance is also to be defined. Thus this work demonstrates the framework for optimal component based data center architecture reducing the redundant components and evaluates the performance of the framework on the proposed matrix for data center hardware component evaluation. Moreover this work demonstrates the fundamental strategies of data center hardware resource optimization. The final outcome of this work is optimal framework simulation tool based on CloudSim toolkit.
