A Study on Networking Technology for Cloud Data Centers

Abstract

Legacy data centers are transforming toward cloud data centers according to the advance of mobile and Internet of Things technology, processing of big data, and development of cloud computing technology. The goal of cloud data centers is to efficiently manage energy and facility, and to rapidly provide service demands to users by operating virtualized ICT(Information and Communication Technology) resources. Accordingly, it requires to configure and operate networks for efficiently providing virtualized ICT resources. This paper analyzes networking technologies suitable for cloud data centers and presents ways to efficiently operate the data center.
