Intra- and inter- datacenter data traffic is rapidly increasing due to the spread of smart devices, cloud computing, and non-face-to-face services. Recently, 400-Gbps optical transceivers based on 100-Gbps/channel have been released primarily by major overseas companies. Various solutions for next-generation datacenter interconnect are being proposed by international standardization and multiple source agreement groups. Following this trend, ETRI has developed a 400-Gbps optical transmission/reception engine using 100-Gbps/channel light sources and photodetectors as well as a silica-based AWG. In the future, technologies of optical devices and components for intra-datacenter communication are expected to be developed based on a data rate of 200-Gbps/channel. Thus, 1.6-Tbps class optical transceivers will be released.

This study deals with the assessment indices about greening performance of datacenter. To do this, we survey existing standards and guidelines about datacenter. Those are used constructing new model of datacenter regarding greening performance. In this model, the relationship between major components will be represented by job-energy-thermal notation. Items, criteria and methods are created in order to complete the assessment indices. The existing assessment indices of the datacenter level and equipment level are investigated. Parameters, the degree of virtualization and energy efficiency also affects the performance of the green performance. Finally, to determine the improvements, the proposed indices is compared with the existing assessment tools.

Optical switching will be applied in datacenter networks because electronic switching is costly and power-consuming. In this paper, considering the ring-based interconnection using optical switching in the core of a datacenter, we study the home circuit (HC) construction for the labeled optical burst switching with home circuit (LOBS-HC), a new paradigm trying to share wavelengths among the HCs from the same source. In particular, aiming to construct HCs dynamically and properly, a scheme named optimal path matching and symmetric HC matching (OPM-SHM) is proposed. The main idea of OPM-SHM is to dynamically construct HCs by sharing wavelength(s) not only among the same-source HCs but also with symmetric HCs which have different sources other than the original LOBS-HC features. The simulation results demonstrate that OPM-SHM achieves better performance than some other methods in terms of burst loss rate and wavelength utilization of physical links. More specially, it maintains good load balancing for the datacenter network using an LOBS-HC ring. In addition, due to the symmetric feature of SHM, the proposed scheme can decrease the upper bound of the average hop count of the routing paths to half of the ring size.

With the exponentially increasing Internet traffic and emergence of more versatile and heterogeneous applications, the design of datacenter networks (DCNs) is subject to unprecedented requirements for larger capacity and more flexible switching granularities. Envisioning Optical-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM) as a promising candidate for such a scenario, we motivate the use of O-OFDM as the underlying switching technology in order to provide sufficient switching capacity and elastic bandwidth allocation. For this purpose, this article reviews the recent progresses of DCN deployment and assesses the scenario where the O-OFDM transmission and switching technology is employed in the underlying transport plane. We discuss the key issues of the datacenter-oriented O-OFDM optical networks, and in particular, elaborate on a number of open issues and solutions including system interconnection architecture, routing and resource assignment, survivability, and energy-efficiency.

With the recent advancement of vehicle wireless communication technology, many vehicular clouds have been proposed. The existing research focused on cloud services through data collection based on vehicular networks of mobile V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure). In this paper, we present a vehicular datacenter model that utilizes the vehicle in the parking space as a resource for the datacenter. Also, we derive resource allocation strategy based on the expected execution time considering the leave rate of each vehicle in our vehicular datacenter model. Simulation results show that our proposed resource allocation strategies outperform the existing strategy in terms of mean execution time.

Recently, the issue of efficient power management in datacenters as a part of green computing has gained prominence. For realizing efficient power management, effective power monitoring and analysis must be conducted for servers in a datacenter. However, an administrator should know the exact structure of the datacenter and its associated databases, and is required to analyze relationships among the observed data. This is because according to previous monitoring approaches, servers are usually managed using only databases. In addition, it is not possible to monitor data that are not indicated in databases. To overcome these drawbacks, we proposed an ontology-based monitoring approach. We constructed domain ontology for management servers at a datacenter, and mapped observed data onto the constructed domain ontology by using semantic annotation. Moreover, we defined query creation rules and server state rules. To demonstrate the proposed approach, we designed an ontology based monitoring system architecture, and constructed a knowledge system. Subsequently, we implemented the pilot system to verify its effectiveness.

In this paper, we study how to optimize the data shuffle phase by leveraging the flow relationship in datacenter networks (DCNs). In most of the clustering computer frameworks, the completion of a transfer (a group of flows that can enable a computation stage to start or complete) is determined by the flow completing last, so that limiting the rate of other flows (not the last one) appropriately can save bandwidth without impacting the performance of any transfer. Furthermore, for the flows enter network late, more bandwidth can be assigned to them to accelerate the completion of the entire transfer. Based on these characteristics, we propose the flow chasing algorithm (FCA) to optimize the completion of the entire transfer. We implement FCA on a real testbed. By evaluation, we find that FCA can not only reduce the completion time of data transfer by 6.24% on average, but also accelerate the completion of data shuffle phase and entire job.

ICT의 보급, 확대는 데이터 센터의 중요성을 높이고 보다 성능이 좋으며 체적 당 소비전력이 큰 서버를 수용할 수 있는 데이터 센터의 수요를 창출하고 있다. 현재 데이터 센터는 데이터 센터 활용 시에 구성요소들에 대한 상당한 대역폭을 필요로 하나 현 데이터센터에 적용된 토폴로지는 고성능 IP 스위치/라우터를 사용하더라도 네트워크 엣지 계층에서는 기본 활용도의 50%의 bandwidth밖에 지원하지 못한다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 OMNeT++을 이용하여 데이터 센터 토폴로지 중 하나인 Fat-tree를 모델링하고 데이터 센터 제반 환경을 구축, latency, power consumption, heat dissipation 등의 기준지표를 성능평가 하였다.

Server consolidation and virtualization have become an integral part of IT planning to reduce TCO cost and ensure the high availability for customer, enlarge the flexibility to computing resource in today' enterprise data centers. In spite of having the variety advantages of server consolidation and virtualization, they cause many problems such as the software licensing issues, virtual server sprawl, network complexity issues, hardware start-up costs, and failover costs. In particular, software licensing problem brings about the serious results in operating of data center and also presents a significant challenge to virtualization because many vendors have realized that licensing policies applicable to physical systems are not compatible with virtual machines. So, the IT planers must be considering this problem before they conducts the server consolidation and virtualization. In this paper, we proposed the efficiency strategy of SW licensing for server consolidation and virtualization analyzing the N-Datacenter case in Korea. As a result, we suggest the two strategies as technical and management/contract aspect. First, as the technical aspect, we propose i) the adaptation of suitable licensing for virtualization, ii) differentiation of license according to the characteristics of server, iii) the core distribution of licenses to minimizing. Second, as the management/contract aspect, we suggest following three things. i) The existing license agreement is changed to the right licensing for virtualization. ii) The license agreement is contracts the active focused. iii) When a new contract should be added to virtualization provisions.
