A Proposed Architecture f or Placement of Cloud Data Centre in Software Defined Network Environment

Abstract

Emerging technologies like IoT (Internet of Things) and wearable devices like Smart Glass, Smart watch, Smart Bracelet and Smart Plaster produce delay sensitive traffic. Cloud computing services are emerging as supportive technologies by providing resources. Most services like IoT require minimum delay which is still an area of research. This paper is an effort towards the minimization of delay in delivering cloud traffic, by geographically localizing the cloud traffic through establishment of Cloud mini data centers. The anticipated architecture suggests a software defined network supported mini data centers connected together. The paper also suggests the use of segment routing for stitching the transport paths between data centers through Software defined Network Controllers.

Review of SDN-based load-balancing methods, issues, challenges, and roadmap

“…Dynamic load balancing for multiple controllers: In large-scale SDN networks with multiple controllers, there is a need for a dynamic load balancing mechanism that can handle burst traffic and adjust controller loads without compromising traffic balancing [63].…”
