Abstract

Data center networks, using a reliable, high speed communication network, is a core component of cloud computing. Recently, optical networks using Space Division Multiplexing has been proposed as a solution to the speed bottleneck anticipated in data center networks. To our knowledge the new challenges of designing such communication systems have not been addressed yet. In this paper we have proposed an optimal approach to the problem of developing a path-protection scheme to handle communication requests in data center (DC) networks using elastic optical networking and space division multiplexing. We have formulated our problem as an Integer Linear Program (ILP). We have also proposed a heuristic that can handle problems of practical size. Our simulations explore important features of our approach.
