Abstract
Devices, computer-readable media, and methods for reducing the number of 'hops' that internal messages must traverse in data center switching architectures are disclosed. In one example, a data center includes a first rack housing a first server, a first computational process associated to a first storage drive hosted on the first server and residing within a first level of the distributed storage system, a second rack housing a second server, a second computational process associated to a second storage drive hosted on the second server and residing within the first level of the distributed storage system, and a first switch communicatively coupled to the first level to receive messages directly from the first computational process and the second computational process.
