Abstract :
For the first time, we demonstrate an orchestration of elastic datacenter with inter data center transport network resources using a combination of OpenStack and OpenFlow. Programmatic control allows a data center operator to dynamically request optical lightpaths from a transport network operator for acceleration of inter-data center workflows.
