Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation
In many cases where Big Data phenomenon is taken place there is the need to transfer the Big Data from one point of computer network to another point. Quite often those points are far away from each other. The transfer time is significant factor to transfer the Big Data. During this time the features of the data link might be changed drastically including interruptions of channel operation...

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation
The FermiCloud project exists to provide on-demand computing and data movement services to the various experiments at Fermilab. We face a dynamically changing demand for compute resources and data movement, which we meet by enabling users to run on our own site, remote grid sites, and cloud sites. We also instantiate on-demand data movement and web caching services to support this remote...

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation
The RAL Tier 1 is now working deploying a production quality private cloud, to meet the emerging needs of both the Tier 1 and STFCs Scientific Computing Department. This talk will describe the work so far and the roadmap for the coming year. We will also discuss other virtualisaton developments.

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation
Helix Nebula – the Science Cloud is a European public-private-partnership between leading scientific research organisations (notably CERN, EMBL and ESA) and European IT cloud providers. Its goal is to establish a Cloud Computing Infrastructure for the European Research Area and the Space Agencies, serving as a platform for innovation and evolution of a federated cloud framework for...

Grid, Cloud & Virtualisation
We present experiences with running ATLAS and LHCb production jobs in virtual machines at Manchester and other sites in the UK using Vac. Vac is a self-contained VM management system in which individual hypervisor hosts act as VM factories to provide VMs contextualized for experiments, and offers an alternative to conventional CE/Batch systems and Cloud interfaces to resources. In the Vacuum...
