As data centers continue to grow in size and complexity, it is Virtualization desirable to understand aspects of their design that are worthy of carrying forward, as well InfiniBand as existing or upcoming shortcomings and challenges that would have to be addressed. We Ethernet envision the data center evolving from owned physical entities to potentially outsourced, Solid state storage virtualized and geographically distributed infrastructures that still attempt to provide the Power management same level of control and isolation that owned infrastructures do. We define a layered model for such data centers and provide a detailed treatment of state of the art and emerg- ing challenges in storage, networking, management and power/thermal aspects.
