Design and implementation of a graphical interface for the Orchestrator in SDN-enabled Data centres

The increased use of Internet in recent years due to cloud services, such as social networks, applications, web pages... has forced the necessity of data centres be able to support this large amount of daily traffic. A current data centre, in order to store this amount of information, can be made up of hundreds of thousands of servers and links that allow users to enjoy their content anytime, almost anywhere and with a good quality of service. Due to this mass of data centres, the scientific community has to face hard challenges of how to manage and control the large number of elements that form them. Therefore, new techniques are being developed both to control and manage with the purpose of reducing maintenance costs, facilitating the deployment of new applications, and definitively, making the most of the data centres. For this reason, it has been developed a useful graphical interface which is able to facilitate the use of management and control layers of a data centre. To sum up, this project designed and developed in Java, allows the user to observe how the data centre's resources are being used in a visually and friendly way
