Distributed File System Support for Virtual Machines in Grid Computing

Tags:
knowledge and data management

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 access to VM state for unmodified VM monitors; it supports user-level and write-back disk caches, per-application caching policies and middleware-driven consistency models; and it supports the use of meta-data associated with files to expedite data transfers. The paper reports on its performance in a WAN setup using VMware-based VMs.

VMware offers Linux and Windows at the same time

Linux specialist, VMware has launched a virtual machine (VM) that lets users run Linux and Windows applications on the same platform. The Linux VM is not an emulator, the company said, as it has its own IP number and uses the host to communicate...

What's the fuss about... virtualised IT infrastructure?

As the application has been broken up and distributed, so is its execution as a complete system. They do not need to reside on the same machine. There is nary a storage provider that is not marketing utility pricing models for its storage and there...

Virtualisation gets trendy

Partition mobility (or VM mobility) - the ability to move running virtual servers between physical servers without service interruption - is key to the ability to produce an always-on, flexible shared-services infrastructure.

Ubuntu strips off for virtualisation

Virtualisation lets operating systems and higher-level software run in compartments called virtual machines (VMs), and those VMs can be stopped, started, saved to disk and moved from one computer to another.

Web 2.0 threat looms

It sits in the host operating system and like a virtual machine can run its applications independently. One fix to this problem is to analyse any code downloaded to the machine to see if it is malicious.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
