Abstract

Data centers have become increasingly part of in the cloud computing. Modular data center is usual built with the shipping-containers, which encapsulate thousands of servers. However, Data centers building large-scale cloud services are hard. According to the cost-effective, this paper proposes a new interconnection network MyHeawoodk for the shipping-container based on modular data center. The goal of MyHeawoodk is clear and simple: use existing low-end commercial server with a two-port NIC to construct a large container data center. It will bring a lot of benefits: (1) without altering NIC port in the existing server; (2) The wiring is easy; (3) Facilitate the promotion, widely used. We have developed effective and reliable routing mechanism. Results from simulations show that MyHeawood is more viable interconnecting network for intra-container data center.
