As noted elsewhere, we’re looking at Rancher in the context of one of our projects. We’ve been doing some work on enabling it to work over heterogeneous compute infrastructures – one of which could be an ARM based edge device and one a standard x86_64 cloud execution environment. Some of our colleagues were asking how […]
Summary: The most limiting factor in development today is software validation, which typically requires very costly and complex testing processes. ElasTest pretends to improve significantly the efficiency and effectiveness of the testing process. The project aims to build an elastic platform that eases the testing phase for large and distributed software systems. This is done […]
Title: SCALE-UP: Services for the Swiss Cloud for Academic and Learning Experts Coordinator: SWITCH Consortium: Zurich University of Applied Sciences, ZHAW University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Northwestern Switzerland, FHNW Fernfachhochschule Schweiz, FFHS University of Berne, UNIBE University of Basel, UNIBAS Università della Svizzera Italiana, USI École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL University of St.Gallen, UNISG […]
SESAME targets innovations around three central elements in 5G: the placement of network intelligence and applications in the network edge through Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) and Edge Cloud Computing; the substantial evolution of the Small Cell concept, already mainstream in 4G but expected to deliver its full potential in the challenging high dense 5G scenarios; […]
What is XIFI? XIFI is a project of the European Public-Private-Partnership on Future Internet (FI-PPP) programme. In this context XIFI is the project responsible for the capacity building part of the programme. XIFI will pave the way for the establishment of a common European market for large-scale trials for Future Internet and Smart Cities through […]
ICT COST Action IC1304 “Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS)” Currently, we are witnessing a paradigm shift from the traditional information-oriented Internet into an Internet of Services (IoS). This transition opens up virtually unbounded possibilities for creating and deploying new services. Eventually, the ICT landscape will migrate into a global system where […]
Arcus is an internally funded project which focuses on correlating energy consumption with cloud usage information to enable a cloud provider to understand in detail how her energy is consumed – as energy continues to account for an increasing amount of a cloud provider’s operating costs, this issue is increasing in importance. The work focuses on […]
Motivation Besides the work in national projects where we engage with and transfer our knowledge to local SMEs, a major focus always lay on international or more precisely european projects where we’re currently involved in a number of FP7 Future Internet projects. Our goal is to push the progress of this so called Future Internet […]
Complimenting the ICCLab cloud computing lab, the InIT operates and runs 2 BladeCenter infrastructure environments, based on IBM Blade-server technology. These environments have different purposes: 1 productive environment for projects, teaching and training systems (running on VMware vSphere v5.0 and operated via a vCenter 5 management system) 1 test and training environment for practical exercises […]
Overview: Network Functions as-a-Service over Virtualised Infrastructures Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is an emerging concept. It refers to the migration of certain network functionalities, traditionally performed by hardware elements, to virtualized IT infrastructures, where they are deployed as software components. NFV leverages commodity servers and storage, including cloud platforms, to enable rapid deployment, reconfiguration and elastic […]
