Abstract EN
Recently, energy efficiency or green IT has become a hot issue for many IT infrastructures as they attempt to utilize energy-efficient strategies in their enterprise IT systems in order to minimize operational costs.
Networking devices are shared resources connecting important IT infrastructures, especially in a data center network they are always operated 24/7 which consume a huge amount of energy, and it has been obviously shown that this energy consumption is largely independent of the traffic through the devices.
As a result, power consumption in networking devices is becoming more and more a critical problem, which is of interest for both research community and general public.
Multicast benefits group communications in saving link bandwidth and improving application throughput, both of which are important for green data center.
In this paper, we study the deployment strategy of multicast switches in hybrid mode in energy-aware data center network: a case of famous fat-tree topology.
The objective is to find the best location to deploy multicast switch not only to achieve optimal bandwidth utilization but also to minimize power consumption.
We show that it is possible to easily achieve nearly 50% of energy consumption after applying our proposed algorithm.
