“…The need for the above tool appeared in the course of the data center's design and implementation phase, it became more emphatic during the integration and finally the validation and testing phases. Similar interactive tools are reported in the literature as important tools for the management, testing and evaluation of networks [4], [5], [6]. Focusing on providing an effective tool mainly for advancing, testing and monitoring the Agent's functionality and performance [7], the current work presents a management tool for the Nephele Agent.…”

Optical switching provided the means for the development of Data Centers with high throughput interconnection networks. A significant contribution to the advanced optical Data Centers designs is the Nephele architecture that employs optical data planes, optical Points of Delivery (PoD) switches and Top of Rack (ToR) switches equipped with 10 Gbps connections to the PoDs and the servers. Nephele follows the Software Defined Network (SDN) paradigm based on the OpenFlow protocol and it employs an Agent communicating the protocol commands to the data plane. The current paper presents a management tool for the Agent. The Agent's management tool is utilized to configure the Agent, create commands, perform step operations and monitor the results and the status. Moreover, as a testing and validation tool, it plays a significant role in the improvement of the Agent's design as well as in the upgrade of the entire data center's organization and performance.
