Description
Summary:Based on the analysis of data centre （DC） traffic pattern, we introduced a holistic software-defined optical DC solution. Architecture-on-Demand based hybrid optical switched （OPS/OCS） data centre network （DCN） fabric is introduced, which is able to realise different inter-and intra-cluster configurations and dynamically support diverse traffic in the DC. The optical DCN is controlled and managed by a software-defined networking （SDN） enabled control plane to achieve high programmability. Moreover, virtual data centre （VDC） composition is developed as an application of such software- defined optical DC to create VDC slices for different tenants.
