Description

Data centres and edge-computing form the backbone of Cloud systems. Data centres can grow to
warehouse-scale computers formed of hundreds of thousands of servers running most of our online
services and applications.

听

Meanwhile edge-computing is aiming at performing data processing at the
edge of the networks, near the source of the data to support latency sensitive applications and
supports a wide range of technologies. This module will provide fundamental technical details on how
to design a Data Centre network from switch technologies and architectures, to network protocols,
topologies and interconnects while delving into advance solutions for future systems. Furthermore, the
module will use technical research papers from recent years in top venues to the topics of edgecomputing
as well as hands-on python based labs to simulate edge-computing systems.
