Data center networking shifts to software-defined architectures driven by microservices and AI

The article discusses the evolution of data center networking from physical cabling to software-defined architectures like Leaf-Spine. This shift is driven by the rise of microservices, which necessitate a greater focus on internal server-to-server communication (East-West traffic) over traditional user-facing connections (North-South traffic). The author highlights that many network operating systems are now based on Linux, enabling infrastructure management through code and AI. AI

IMPACT AI is increasingly used to manage complex, software-defined data center infrastructures, optimizing internal traffic flows for microservices.

RANK_REASON The item discusses trends in data center networking and infrastructure management, including the role of software, microservices, and AI, but does not announce a new product, research, or significant industry event.

    From ‘spaghetti’ in racks to Clos architecture. 🕸️ Networking is no longer about pulling wires, but about software. We don’t build modern data centers like trees, but like dynamic fabs

    Od „špaget“ v racku k architektuře Clos. 🕸️ Networking už není o tahání drátů, ale o softwaru. Moderní datová centra nestavíme jako stromy, ale jako dynamic fabrics (Leaf-Spine). Důvod? Mikroslužby. Na 1 vnější spojení (North-South) dnes připadá cca 8 vnitřních (East-West). Řada …
