Enhancing Resilience and Flexibility of Reconfigurable Data Centre Networks

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

Enhancing Resilience and Flexibility of Reconfigurable Data Centre Networks The rapid growth of Data Centres is driven by the surge in demand for online storage and Machine Learning (ML) applications. Based on fixed electronic switches and packet-level protocols, traditional data centre networks effectively handle general-purpose, uniform traffic but struggle with bursty, skewed ML workloads. Reconfigurable Data Centre Networks (RDCNs), employing Optical Circuit Switches (OCSs) that can dynamically alter the network topology, have emerged to address this challenge. These flexible, high-speed networks can efficiently adapt to changing traffic patterns, with improved Quality of Service and energy efficiency for advanced digital services. Despite their promise, critical knowledge gaps remain in the scientific literature. ReFlexRDCN (Enhancing Resilience and Flexibility of Reconfigurable Data Centre Networks) aims to address these by targeting two major goals. First, it will engineer advanced tools for rapid identification, localisation, and failover i
