Distributed File System Virtualization Techniques Supporting On-Demand Virtual Machine Environments for Grid Computing
Overview This paper presents a data management solution which allows fast Virtual Machine (VM) instantiation and efficient run-time execution to support VMs as execution environments in Grid computing. It is based on novel distributed file system virtualization techniques and is unique in that; it provides on-demand cross-domain access to VM states for unmodified VM monitors;) it enables private file system channels for VM instantiation by secure tunneling and session-key based authentication;) it supports user-level and write-back disk caches, per-application caching policies and middleware-driven consistency models; and; it leverages application-specific meta-data associated with files to expedite data transfers.
