Infrastructure Level Requirements Sample Clauses

Infrastructure Level Requirements. As it was presented in Section 2.1, DCs are required to provide increasingly more powerful IT capabilities: i.e. higher intra-DC bandwidth, lower latency, more efficient energy usage, and greater ease of service deployment and operation. Moreover, DCs must be sustainable at increasingly large scales, exhibit high levels of resiliency and availability in face of component failure or disaster, and be manageable and profitable. All the above raises the importance of the infrastructure – its cost, operational complexity, ability to be repurposed on demand, etc. In this section, the DCN infrastructural requirements are discussed traditionally subdivided into the data, the control, and the management plane concerns.
