OPMDC: Optical Pyramid Data Center Network

Data center networks (DCNs) provide reliable and efficient infrastructures in support of a wide variety of emerging cloud and enterprise applications and services, such as grid/cloud computing, Big Data computing, and social networking. The proliferation of such data-rich delay-sensitive applications and services places a growing demand on DCNs that can deliver exceedingly high bandwidth, low latency, high reliability, and reduced power consumption at the same time. And yet, the existing state-of-the-art DCN technology that employs electrical switching of packets has been shown incapable of meeting such a demand.
