Google (in ACM) on data-center networking

http://j.mp/R4S2yX   (ACM)

   "The magic of the cloud is that it is always on and always available
    from anywhere. Users have come to expect that services are there when
    they need them. A data center (or warehouse-scale computer) is the
    nexus from which all the services flow. It is often housed in a
    nondescript warehouse-sized building bearing no indication of what
    lies inside. Amidst the whirring fans and refrigerator-sized computer
    racks is a tapestry of electrical cables and fiber optics weaving
    everything together-the data-center network. This article provides a
    "guided tour" through the principles and central ideas surrounding the
    network at the heart of a data center - the modern-day loom that
    weaves the digital fabric of the Internet."
