Internet data centers
As modern data centers grow to handle more traffic, more complex services, and more business-critical functionality, researchers are proposing a more holistic view of architectural and operational concerns. In this issue, we look at topics such as data center fabric research, resource consolidation, infrastructure management, and operational cost reduction. We also feature two visions of computer science and engineering curricula for the 21st century.
