One major challenge in high-performance cloud computing is being able to move big data in and out of the backend data center. While high-performance servers and hardware are already deployable inside the data center, and WAN bandwidth can be provisioned beyond multi-Gbps, existing transport technology cannot fully utilize the end-to-end capacity provided by the underlying hardware platform, par...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A major challenge in high-performance cloud computing is moving big data in and out of the back-end data center. While high-performance servers and hardware are already deployable inside the data center, and WAN bandwidth can be provisioned beyond multigigabits per second (Gbps), existing transport technology lacks the capability of fully using the end-to-end capacity provided...
