About this book

This book discusses the characteristics of virtualized cloud networking, identifies the requirements of cloud network management, and illustrates the challenges in deploying virtual clusters in multi-tenant cloud data centers. The book also introduces network partitioning techniques to provide contention-free allocation, topology-invariant reallocation, and highly efficient resource utilization, based on the Fat-tree network structure.


Managing cloud data center resources without considering resource contentions among different cloud services and dynamic resource demands adversely affects the performance of cloud services and reduces the resource utilization of cloud data centers. These challenges are mainly due to strict cluster topology requirements, resource contentions between uncooperative cloud services, and spatial/temporal data center resource fragmentation. Cloud data center network resource allocation/reallocation which cope well with such challenges will allow cloud services to be provisioned with predictable network performance, mitigate service performance degradation and even guarantee service level agreements.


Virtualized Cloud Data Center Networks: Issues in Resource Management tackles the challenges of managing cloud data center networks and introduces techniques to efficiently deploy large-scale distributed computing applications that require predictable performance in multi-tenant cloud data centers.    


Reviews

“This small book is packed with technical detail and well supported with figures and examples. There is a thorough table of contents, and each chapter finishes with a list of references. This is a good, detailed foundation for understanding the mechanisms involved in successfully managing and resourcing high-performance, multitenant cloud data centers. In summary, this is a short book, but is definitely not a light read.” (David B. Henderson, Computing Reviews, computingreviews.com, October, 2016)
