Enhancing Data Center Performance using Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) EmergingTechnology
Journal Article

Abstract As more and more people turn to the cloud for their personal and professional purposes, cloud computing has become essential for the majority of users. Given the increased demand for cloud virtualization, the datacenter needs to be able to accommodate more virtual machines (VMs) that are housed on its servers. A datacenter employing old technology may accommodate up to 4096 VLANs, which would restrict the number of tenants it could serve. Spanning-Tree Protocol (SPT) is used by VLANs to remove loops, or duplicates, which block half of the routes and waste available bandwidth. The Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), an emerging technology, must be used from there. It permits network segmentation similar to that of regular VLANs without obstructing traffic or reducing scalability. This study outlined both established and novel approaches and then clarified how to use them for data center topology. It also covered the drawbacks of utilizing conventional technologies. The benefits of cutting-edge technology and its superior influence on datacenter bandwidth utilization. To demonstrate how the new technology enhances data center performance, these technologies were finally replicated using the Eve emulator.

Journal Article

Abstract--

This paper presents the study if could design of a hydroelectric power station utilizing dam resources in the Western Mountain

region of Libya. Monthly data spanning three years was analyzed for each dam, focusing on energy production comparisons between

Wadi Ghan and Wadi Majinin dams from 2010 to 2012. Key factors examined include dam size, height, and water storage capacity, all

impacting energy production efficiency. Designed with a targeted production capacity of 30 MW per day, the project incorporates pumps

to recycle discharged water, preventing loss and optimizing resources. Data analysis was conducted using Excel. The economic viability

of the project is promising, as the station will enhance regional electricity supply while reducing dependence on conventional energy

sources. As a renewable and clean source, hydroelectric power minimizes harmful emissions and mitigates negative environmental

impacts. Establishing the station is also expected to support local infrastructure, stimulate the economy, and create job opportunities. In

the operational phase, hydroelectric power generation is anticipated to have lower costs compared to traditional energy

sources.Furthermore, raising the dam's water level is projected to boost energy output by increasing storage capacity and enhancing

hydrostatic pressure on the turbines, thus improving turbine efficiency and overall energy generation. These optimizations align with the

project’s objectives, contributing to increased energy output, economic viability, and the enhanced performance of the hydroelectric power

station

The burst pressure and fracture sites were also investigated. In addition, know how LPG cylinders are compliant with ISO 4706 requirements as per standard to get approval and acceptance. The tests were performed on three samples (C1, C2, and C3), and all the tests were according to the specification. Tensile testing was carried out at room temperature (23C°) as per ISO 6892-2016. Tensile test specimens with a gauge length of 50 mm were prepared from the sidewall of cylinders. The equipment used is built up around a 250 KN maximum capacity of (Instron Servo-Hydraulic Testing Machine Model 1332). At the same time, micro-hardness testing was carried out as per ASTM A384. Diamond indenter (pyramid) with a face angle of 136° was used. During testing (1kg) load was applied on the sample with a dwell time of 15 seconds. As for bending tests were carried out in accordance with ISO 7438 for all cylinders to evaluate their welding qualities. The results of microstructural characterization show that the carbon content for all samples averaged ~ 0.067 wt.% and manganese ~ 0.46 wt.% and the microstructure was largely ferritic. The tensile strength of the parent metal showed that LPG gas cylinders recorded high tensile strength of ~ 418 MPa on average, yield strength of ~ 291 MPa on average, a % elongation 26.6 (for parent metal), the tensile strength of ~ 449 MPa as average, yield strength of ~ 314 MPa as average, % elongation 32 (for weld metal) and hardness of ~ 143 (kg/mm2) as average by Vickers scale. Moreover, in the hydrostatic pressure test, the computer controlled electro-hydraulic servo pressure test machine was used. The results of the hydrostatic pressure test were as follows, pressure burst (BP) 103 bar, nominal hoop stress 528 MPa, volumetric expansion 25%, hydrostatic extend ratio 3.9%, sites of failure exist out of welding, and finally no fragmentation observed regarding to fracture types. All samples tested exhibited high resilience to crack

propagation which showed ductile fracture after burst and tensile test
