Predictable Datacenters
Performance predictability is a key requirement for high-performant applications in today's multi-tenant datacenters. Online services running in infrastructure datacenters need such predictability to satisfy application SLAs. Cloud datacenters require guaranteed performance to bound customer costs and spur adoption. However, several components of today’s datacenters are at odds with such high-level application SLAs. The Predictable Data Centers project examines how to extend today's mechanisms to make application SLAs feasible.
