| Abstract | Data centers are considered central hub of information and communication. In last recent years,as application size increased and application became business-critical, services down time became unacceptable and increasing fame of cloud- computing need, forces scientist and developers to explore more efficient data center network architectures to achieve fault-tolerance and scalability. This paper discusses and analysis some data center architectures such as: Fat-tree, Aspen-tree (Modified Fat-tree), VL2,Portland and Dcellat structure level with their characteristics and techniques related load balancing, redundancy and network virtualization for fault-detection and recovery in much lesser time to gain high availability, fault-tolerance and scalability. |
