Abstract
Significant portion of the power consumption of datacenter is due to the power-hungry switching fabric necessary for communication. Additionally, the complex cabling in traditional datacenters pose design and maintenance challenges and increase the energy cost of the cooling infrastructure by obstructing the flow of chilled air. In this work, these problems of traditional datacenters are addressed by designing a server-to-server wireless datacenter network (S2S-WiDCN). It is estimated that by implementing S2S-WiDCN, power consumption is lower by five to seventeen times compared to a conventional DCN fabric.
