Description
Book SynopsisMANAGEMENT OF DATA CENTER NETWORKS Discover state-of-the-art developments in DCNs from leading international voices in the fieldIn Management of Data Center Networks, accomplished researcher and editor Dr. Nadjib Aitsaadi delivers a rigorous and insightful exploration of the network management challenges that present within intra- and inter-data center networks, including reliability, routing, and security. The book also discusses new architectures found in data center networks that aim to minimize the complexity of network management while maximizing Quality of Service, like Wireless/Wired DCNs, server-only DCNs, and more. As DCNs become increasingly popular with the spread of cloud computing and multimedia social networks employing new transmission technologies like 5G wireless and wireless fiber, the editor provides readers with chapters written by world-leading authors on topics like routing, the reliability of inter-data center networks, energy management, and security.
