SLA@SOI has developed a scheduler to help better deliver an SLA-enabled infrastructure. It allocates requested virtual machines to the most appropriate physical machines taking SLA specifications and data center policies into account. Read on to find out more…
SLA@SOI participated at the recent OGF30 in Brussels, where OCCI and DCI-Fed were of particular interest
SLA@SOI and RESERVOIR have been actively collaborating together with the aim of investigating and pursuing the integration of their respective technologies as part of the NEXOF Reference Architecture initiative. One of the outputs of this work has been a technical report that details how cloud standards, such as OCCI, can be used to support the [...]
The Open Virtualisation Format (OVF) is a schema for describing a virtual machine or a collection of virtual machines. The initiative is the results of efforts by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) who, amongst other standards, are responsible for the Common Information Model (CIM).
SLA@SOI is dedicated towards building an SLA-aware service oriented infrastructure. A key component of this will be the layer managing the infrastructure, and we are envisioning that this must be able to handle internet-scale deployments. Management of an environment with hundreds of thousands of nodes places significant demands on communication channels, and SLA@SOI is currently investigating how protocols like XMPP might help address these needs.
