Description
University ITMO (ifmo.ru) is developing the cloud of geographically distributed data
centers. The “geographically distributed” means data centers (DC) located in
different places far from each other by hundred or thousand kilometers.
Usage of the geographically distributed data centers promises a number of advantages
for end users such as opportunity to add additional DC and service availability
through redundancy and geographical distribution.
The service like data transfer, computing, and data storage are suggested to users in
the form of virtual objects such the virtual machines, virtual storage, virtual data
transfer line.
The user might require to create and use an one or group of virtual object(s) with
cloud dashboard. Each user request for virtual object should be passed through the
checking of feasibility to deployment and integration with existing objects and
restrictions in the cloud. In order to do that it is developed an abstract layer over
available hardware components.
Above features are implemented in form of software agents interconnected by
distributed messages queues. Authors plan to describe experiments with distributed
multi-agent system for management, monitoring, deployment of the cloud.
