Abstract
A data center includes: a server including a control plane; a data plane that is configured to receive network connection information from the control plane; and a storage group including a plurality of first storage devices. The data plane may be configured to set connections between the server and the plurality of first storage devices based on the network connection information corresponding to each first storage device of the plurality of first storage devices.
Claims19
A data center, comprising:
- a server including a control plane to send a network connection information, the network connection information including path information, network topology information, and device orchestration information;
- an Ethernet storage device including a data plane that is configured to receive the network connection information from the control plane;
- and
- a storage group including a plurality of first storage devices to receive the network connection information from the data plane,
- wherein the data plane is configured to set network connections between the server and the plurality of first storage devices based on the network connection information corresponding to each first storage device of the plurality of first storage devices,
- wherein the data plane includes a network flow table, storing mapping information between data paths and output ports, and the data plane forwards data to an output port corresponding to a data path based on the network connection information,
- wherein each of the plurality of first storage devices transmits or receives data according to the set network connection.
