An Enhanced Cost Effective and Scalable Network Architecture for Data Centers

Abstract

Large-scale data centers, comprises tens of thousands of computers, require significant total of bandwidth. The network infrastructure typically adopts a hierarchical tree configuration of routing and switching components, with higher levels featuring increasingly specialized and expensive equipment. Despite the implementation of advanced IP switches and routers, the resulting setups often utilize only 50% of the total bandwidth available at the network edge, while still incurring significant costs. Its modular, scalable design allows expansion with minimal disruption or cost, supporting big data, AI, and other demanding applications. In this architecture balances efficiency, scalability, and compatibility, making it a future-ready, low-cost choice for data centers modernizing for the digital era and expanding data-driven services.
