Abstract

As 5G mobile communication services are provided, efforts are being made to provide various services to users with ultra-low latency. This raises interest in edge computing, which can provide high performance computing services near users instead of cloud computing at the network core. This paper presents an efficient operation and management scheme of a micro data center, which is an essential equipment for realizing edge computing. First, we present the functional structure and deployment plan of edge computing. Next, we present the requirements for the micro data centers for edge computing and the operation and management scheme accordingly. Finally, in order to efficiently manage resources in the micro data centers, we present resource management items to be collected and monitored, and propose a performance indicator to measure the energy efficiency.

5G 이동 통신 서비스가 제공됨에 따라 다양한 서비스를 초저지연으로 사용자에게 제공하려는 노력이 진행되고 있다. 이는 네트워크 코어에서 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 제공하는 대신에 사용자 인근에서 고성능 컴퓨팅 서비스를 제공하는 에지 컴퓨팅에 대한 관심을 불러 일으키고 있다. 본 논문은 에지 컴퓨팅의 실현을 위한 필수 장비인 마이크로 데이터센터의 운영 및 관리 방안을 제시한다. 먼저, 에지 컴퓨팅의 기능 구조와 배치 방안을 제시한다. 다음으로 에지 컴퓨팅을 위한 마이크로 데이터센터의 요구사항과 이에 따른 운영 및 관리 방안을 제시한다. 마지막으로 마이크로 데이터센터의 자원을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서 수집 및 감시해야 하는 자원 관리 아이템을 제시하고, 에너지 효율을 측정할 수 있는 성능 지표를 제안한다.
