Ezilla Fast Deployment Cloud Toolkit with Network Infrastructure Service

摘要

Deployment of server virtualization almost becomes a universal basic concept of making full use of the data center resources. With the evolution trend for powerful multi-core servers, more memory capacity, and greater bandwidth network channel, it is necessary to think about the network I/O. To contribute this issue, Ezilla has been developed by Pervasive Computing Team at National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC). Ezilla integrates the Cloud middleware, virtualization technology, and Web-based Operating System (WebOS) to build virtual machines in the distributed computing environment. The main character of Ezilla is simplifying a lot complexity of utilizing Clouds. Via the Ezilla with SR-IOV feature, Cloud users can create virtual clusters that are customized to meet the specific needs from the users. Our goal is to make scientists or users painlessly run their works on Clouds, and greatly improve the network I/O performance.
