Foreword
Recent advances in cloud computing and emerging web applications have created
the need for more powerful data centers. These data centers need high-bandwidth
interconnects that can sustain the heavy communication requirements between the
servers in the data centers. Data center networks based on electronic packet switches
will consume excessive power in order to satisfy the required communication
bandwidth of future data centers. Optical interconnects have gained attention
recently as a promising solution offering high throughput, low latency, and reduced
energy consumption compared to current networks based on commodity switches.
This book presents the most recent and promising solutions that have been
presented in the domain of the optical interconnects for data centers. First, it presents
the requirements of future data center networks and how optical interconnects
could support the data center scaling by providing the required bandwidth. The
requirements of future data centers are provided for major data center owners
and operators. The majority of the book presents most of the data center network
architectures that are based on optical interconnects proposed by leaders in industry
and academe. This book should be a valuable source of comprehensive information
for researchers, professors, as well as network and computer engineers who are
interested in high-performance data center networks and optical interconnects.
