Technologies for managing burst bandwidth requirements

A software-defined networking (SDN) controller for control of data transfer, the SDN controller comprising:

• storage device monitor circuitry to monitor data traffic from each of a plurality of compute devices to a storage sled of a data center over a network of the data center;
• bandwidth burst detector circuitry to detect an indication of a future bandwidth burst based on the data traffic from each of the plurality of compute devices;
• and
• bandwidth burst resource allocator circuitry to:
• determine one or more parameters of a tiered bandwidth burst requirement based on the data traffic from each of the plurality of compute devices;
• allocate a first amount of bandwidth on the network for data transfer from each of the plurality of compute devices based on the determined one or more parameters of the tiered bandwidth burst requirement;
• determine, based on the one or more parameters of the tiered bandwidth burst requirement, a period of time to wait before allocation of additional bandwidth for data transfer from each of the plurality of compute devices;
• and
• allocate a second amount of bandwidth on the network for the data transfer from each of the plurality of compute devices in response to a determination that the period of time to wait has elapsed.

One or more computer-readable media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a software-defined networking (SDN) controller, causes the SDN controller to:

• detect a failure of a storage device of a storage sled of a data center;
• determine one or more parameters of a tiered bandwidth burst requirement for replication of data that was on the storage device;
• allocate a first amount of bandwidth on a network of the data center for replication of the data that was on the storage device;
• determine, based on the one or more parameters of the tiered bandwidth burst requirement, a period of time to wait before allocation of additional bandwidth for replication of the data that was on the storage device;
• and
• allocate a second amount of bandwidth on the network for replication of the data that was on the storage device in response to a determination that the period of time to wait has elapsed.
