Abstract

This chapter presents the background and overview of the data center from the three dimensions. First, we introduce the basic concept and history of data centers, especially the evolution of data centers in the era of cloud computing, the internet of things and big data. Next, we illustrate the potential application fields of data centers, such as networked computing, networked storage, the data analysis. In the end, we summarize representative challenges of data center networking, including the functionality customization, network virtualization, the scalable network topology, traffic management, et al.
