Dynamic Workload Provisioning and Networking Engineering in Heterogeneous Data Centers With the increase use of cloud-based services by end customers, cloud data center providers face a number of challenges. On the one hand, due to varied nature of end customers, workloads in data centers are highly dynamic. On the other hand, the network and diverse computing infrastructure supporting the cloud services must meet service level agreements, yet keeping energy consumption into account. In this talk, I will highlight a number of critical challenges. I will then discuss potential approaches to address these challenges that range from optimal provisioning of workload to network engineering in heterogeneous data centers.
