Analytics at the speed of light: Feasibility and challenges for real time analytics of large datasets in hybrid clouds.

''Real-time services'' is a very challenging topic. Running analytics in real-time when there is an abstract network layer makes things even more complicated. The demand to analyze huge data-sets in real time or in the long term has been increasing over the past decade in many sectors including health-care, general science and various online...

KOALA-C: A Scheduler for Integrated Multi-Cluster and Multi-Cloud Environments

In this work, we propose the design of KOALA-C, a task scheduling system that can operate in integrated multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments based on two previous work: KOALA and SkyMark. We design and evaluate a number of task allocation and resource provisioning policies through both simulations and real-world experiments using KOALA-C.

Project Jackal Final Report

For companies that deliver hardware services, the ability to scale dynamically has many advantages. In a special case, a company may have some computing resources available and desire to scale out when traffic peaks. A periodical budget may then be allocated, which needs to be used efficiently. This can be achieved through a combination of...

Performance Evaluation of Cloud Infrastructure using Complex Workloads

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a delivery model of cloud computing, which provides the ability to users to acquire and release resources according to their demand and pay according to their usage. Resources are provisioned from the cloud as Virtual Machines (VMs), many of which can be deployed on a single computing node, realizing a multi...
