Datacenter in a box: test your SDN cloud-datacenter controller at home
In the last years, the widespread of Cloud computing
as the main paradigm to deliver a large plethora of
virtualized services significantly increased the complexity of
Datacenters management and raised new performance issues
for the intra-Datacenter network. Providing heterogeneous
services and satisfying users’ experience is really challenging
for Cloud service providers, since system (IT resources) and
network administration functions are definitely separated. As
the Software Defined Networking (SDN) approach seems to
be a promising way to address innovation in Datacenters, the
paper presents a new framework that allows to develop and
test new OpenFlow–based controllers for Cloud Datacenters.
More specifically, our framework enhances both Mininet (a
well–known SDN emulator) and POX (a network controller
written in python), with all the extensions necessary to
experiment novel control and management strategies of IT
and network resources.FEDER Funds
