Virtualization

The HEPiX working group on Virtualisation started it activities since the last HEPiX meeting. This talk will present the current status and future plans.

8. Virtualization at CERN: a status report

Ulrich Schwickerath (CERN)

21/04/2010, 13:30

During the HEPiX meeting 2009 in Berkeley several reports related to virtualization efforts at CERN were given. This presentation will be a status report of these projects, with the focus on service consolidation and batch virtualization. Recent developments like the evaluation of the Infrastructure Sharing Facility (ISF) from Platform computing, issues seen with the tools we use and the...

12. virtual machines over PBS

Marc Rodriguez Espadamala (Marc Rodriguez)

21/04/2010, 14:00

Since PIC is supporting the data management of several scientific projects it is faced to requirements that might not be possible to enable in a homogeneous infrastructure. When looking for an alternative approach we have chosen to export the specific requirements into a virtualized environment. In order to minimize the impact to our physical computing infrastructure it was necessary to...

42. An Adaptive Batch Environment for Clouds

Ian Gable (University of Victoria)

21/04/2010, 14:30

We have developed a method using Condor and a simple software component we call Cloud Scheduler to run High Throughput Computing workloads on multiple clouds situated at different sites. Cloud Scheduler is able to instantiate user-customized VMs to meet the requirements of jobs in Condor queues. Users supply Condor job attributes to indicate the type of VM required to complete their job....

61. Virtualization in the gLite Grid Middleware software process. Use-cases, technologies and future plans.

Lorenzo Dini (CERN)

22/04/2010, 09:15

During the past years, the Grid Deployment and Grid Technology groups at CERN have gained experience in using virtualization to support the gLite Grid Middleware software-engineering process. Some technologies such as VNode and VMLoader have been developed to leverage virtualization in supporting activities such as development, build, test, integration and certification of software. This...

37. Virtual Network and Web Services (An Update)

Thomas Finnern (DESY)

22/04/2010, 11:00

This talk describes techniques for providing highly available network services with help of a hardware based load balancing cluster handled by a sophisticated control software. An abstract representation of web, mail and other services is implemented on base of application specific routing on network layers 3 to 7. Combining application, network and security issues in one point you may...

4. Virtualisation for Oracle databases and application servers

Carlos Garcia Fernandez (CERN)

22/04/2010, 11:30

With the growing number of Oracle database instances and Oracle application servers, and the need to control the necessary resources in terms of manpower, electricity and cooling, virtualisation is a strategic direction that is being seriously considered at CERN for databases and application servers. Oracle VM is the Oracle certified and supported server virtualisation solution for...
