VERTICALLY-TIERED CLIENT-SERVER ARCHITECTURE

摘要

Systems and methods of vertically aggregating tiered servers in a data center are disclosed. An example method includes partitioning a plurality of servers in the data center to form an array of aggregated end points (AEPs). Multiple servers within each AEP are connected by an intra-AEP network fabric and different AEPs are connected by an inter-AEP network. Each AEP has one or multiple central hub servers acting as end-points on the inter-AEP network. The method includes resolving a target server identification (ID). If the target server ID is the central hub server in the first AEP, the request is handled in the first AEP. If the target server ID is another server local to the first AEP, the request is redirected over the intra-AEP fabric. If the target server ID is a server in a second AEP, the request is transferred to the second AEP.
