With the continuous expansion of data centers, the traditional network architecture faces many challenges in traffic management and resource scheduling. Software-defined network (SDN) technology provides new ideas to solve these problems by separating the control plane from the data plane. This paper discusses the application of SDN in the data center network, analyzes the optimization strategy of traffic management and resource scheduling, and verifies the effectiveness of the optimization scheme through experiments. The results show that SDN technology can significantly improve the performance of the data center network, reduce latency, improve resource utilization, and provide strong support for the efficient operation of the data center.
