Summary:

Cloud Networking: Developing Cloud-based Data Center Networks explains the evolution of established networking technologies into distributed, cloud-based systems. Starting with an overview of cloud technologies, the book explains how to design a cloud network that leverages a distributed system for virtualization, storage networking, and software-defined networking. The author offers insider perspective to key components that make a cloud network possible such as switch fabric technology and data center networking standards. The final chapters look ahead to developments in architectu
