[en] With the availability of low cost, on demand, and pay as-you-go model based utility computing services offered by clouds, multiple businesses consider moving their services to the cloud. Typically, the clouds comprise of geographically distributed data centers connected through a high speed network. Most of the research and development is focused on cloud services, applications, and security issues; however, very limited effort has been devoted to address energy efficiency, scalability, and highspeed inter and intra-data center communication. We present CloudNetSim++, a modeling and simulation toolkit to facilitate simulation of distributed data center architectures, energy models, and high speed data centers' communication network. The CloudNetSim++ is designed to allow researchers to incorporate their custom protocols and, applications, to analyze under realistic data center architectures with network traffic patterns. CloudNetSim++ is the first cloud computing simulator that uses real network physical characteristics to model distributed data centers. CloudNetSim++ provides a generic framework that allows users to define SLA policy, scheduling algorithms, and modules for different components of data centers without worrying about low level details with ease and minimum effort.
