Jupiter Rising: A Decade of Clos Topologies and Centralized Control in Google’s Datacenter Network
Hello new and old subscribers!
This week’s paper is Jupiter Rising: A Decade of Clos Topologies and Centralized Control in Google’s Datacenter Network.
The paper discusses the design and evolution of Google’s datacenter network with a focus on how the network scaled to provide high-speed connectivity and efficient resource allocation under increasing demand.
The paper also discusses the challenges and limitations of the design and how Google has addressed them over the past decade. Beyond the scale of their deployment, the networks described by the paper continue to influence the design of many modern data center networks (including those of Meta, LinkedIn, Dropbox, and others).
The paper review is best enjoyed on the blog.
Until next time,
Micah
