The Reservoir model and architecture for open federated cloud computing

Abstract

The emerging cloud-computing paradigm is rapidly gaining momentum as an alternative to traditional IT (information technology). However, contemporary cloud-computing offerings are primarily targeted for Web 2.0-style applications. Only recently have they begun to address the requirements of enterprise solutions, such as support for infrastructure service-level agreements. To address the challenges and deficiencies in the current state of the art, we propose a modular, extensible cloud architecture with intrinsic support for business service management and the federation of clouds. The goal is to facilitate an open, service-based online economy in which resources and services are transparently provisioned and managed across clouds on an ondemand basis at competitive costs with high-quality service. The Reservoir project is motivated by the vision of implementing an architecture that would enable providers of cloud infrastructure to dynamically partner with each other to create a seemingly infinite pool of IT resources while fully preserving their individual autonomy in making technological and business management decisions. To this end, Reservoir could leverage and extend the advantages of virtualization and embed autonomous management in the infrastructure. At the same time, the Reservoir approach aims to achieve a very ambitious goal: creating a foundation for next-generation enterprise-grade cloud computing.

In Cloud, Can Scientific Communities Benefit from the Economies of Scale?

“…With respect to our previous work [11] and the Reservoir project [13] [18] [28] [39], the distinguished dif-ferences of our ESP model are three-fold. First, in our model, developing a new service management layer (TRE) for another different workload is lightweight, since many common functions, e.g., the monitors, which are responsible for monitoring and reporting resources status, are required by each service management layer, have been implemented in the common service management framework (CSF).…”

“…C Loud computing has attracted a lot of attention in the last few years [2] [4] [13] [20] [28]. From the perspective of resource providers, such as Amazon and Google Apps, cloud computing introduces a new computing paradigm: infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) or platform-as-a-service (PaaS).…”

A Unified Architecture for Optimal Resource Utilization in a Heterogeneous Cloud Environment

“…Rochwerger et al [2] identified a number of inherent deficiencies in the current cloud computing systems, such as, limited scalability of single provider of clouds, lack of interoperability among the cloud providers and lack of built-in business service management support. Therefore, they proposed an architecture called 'RESERVOIR' to address the needs of enterprise-grade solutions, such as support for infrastructure level SLAs.…”

“…His prediction has come into reality in the form of cloud computing after a century. Cloud computing is the latest incarnation of a general purpose public computing utility [2].…”

Surveying about Different Procedures of Intensifying Cloud Security and Presenting New Idea Based on Kalman Filtering

“…If you are a cloud computing user, you will be able to first use its extraordinary stronger processing powerbecause your system might not have the necessary processing power. Second, you will be able to perform these very heavy operations concurrently with several of your friends and observe each other's work output on the project instantaneously [5]. Among its other potentials is that up to now you had to take advantage of your systems processing resources individually and once in a while you were forced to up to date your system hard and software to be able to both access the most current software versions and also had need for hard ware power for supporting your software.…”
