Data center application oriented control architecture in multi-domain optical networks

With the rapid development of cloud computing, data center application based on considerable storage and computing has become one of the most important service types. Currently the high performance computing facilities and large-capacity storage devices are highly distributed in different locations. Then how to make full use of the current data center mainly depends on the effective joint scheduling of application layer and network layer resources. According to the rigid requirement of data center application, a novel convergence control architecture, i.e. Service-Oriented Group Engine (SOGE) framework is proposed in multi-domain optical networks based on DREAM architecture, and also the corresponding resource demand model (RDM) is built. A resource joint scheduling algorithm (RJSA) for application layer and network layer resource is proposed and implemented based on SOGE framework. Moreover, the SOGE framework and resource joint scheduling algorithm are validated and demonstrated on the test-bed based on DREAM architecture.
