Previously, we analyzed the performance of virtual machine (VM) live migration in different scenarios under Openstack Icehouse. Until now, all our experiments were performed on essentially unloaded servers – clearly, this means that the results are not so widely applicable. Here, we analyze how the addition of load to the physical hosts and the network […]
We continue our recent work regarding an analysis of the performance of live migration in Openstack Icehouse. Our previous results focused on block live migration in Openstack, without shared storage configured between computing nodes. In this post we focus on the performance of live migration in the system with a shared file system configured, compare […]
Since our servers have been set up for live migration with Openstack Icehouse, we wondered how live migration would perform. We measured the duration of the migration process, VM downtime duration and the amount of data transfered via the ethernet during a live migration. All tests were performed across 5 different VM flavors to examine the impact […]
We are happy to announce that ICCLab was invited to join the COST Action Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS) – IC1304 as Swiss representative in the Management Committee. ICT COST Action IC1304 Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS) Descriptions are provided by the Actions directly via e-COST. Currently, we are […]
Campus Party is an annual week long, 24-hours-a-day technology festival where thousands of “Campuseros” (hackers, developers, gamers and technophiles), equipped with laptops, camp on-site and immerse themselves in a truly unique environment.
It is the biggest electronic entertainment event in the world which unites the brightest young minds in technology and science under the idea that “the Internet is not a network of computers, it’s a network of people.”
From Report from the European Cloud Partnership Steering Board meeting of 4 July 2013 in Tallinn, 12 August 2013: “On 27 September 2012 the Commission adopted the European Cloud Strategy in the form of a Communication entitled “Unleashing the Potential of Cloud Computing in Europe”, in which it announced the intention to set up a […]
The 30th birthday of the Swiss Informatics Society (SI), held on Tue 25 June in Fribourg CH, concluded successfully with more then 200 participants who globally have attended the thematic workshops in the morning, the inaugural Meeting of the Swiss AIS Chapter and the plenary in the afternoon.
We post hereafter relevant topics on the Cloud Computing workshop, moderated by ZHAW ICCLAB, and the award ceremony.
The OpenStack foundation is celebrating its 3rd birthday this year and the ICCLab will be, as always, helping out at this year’s OpenStack birthday celebration. The event will be held on Coast of Zurisee near China Gardens Bellerivestrasse 138 8008 Zürich on the 19th of July at 19:00. It is for everyone that is interested in […]
The work on cloud service relocation that is being investigated by the ICCLab was presented at USENIX HotCloud13. In FluidCloud we ask the key question of “How to intrinsically enable and fully automate relocation of service instances between clouds?“ and present an architecture to realise service relocation. Below you can have a look at the […]
The SI represents the computer science profession in Switzerland: professionals with a university degree or equivalent qualification, educational and research institutes, and companies that contribute to computer science. It networks its members and represents their interests in politics, education, business and research. The 30th birthday of the Swiss Informatics Society will be holding a celebration […]
