It is a pleasure to welcome you to the First Workshop on Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures. We believe virtualization of the infrastructure is an important and exciting trend that would enable lot of innovations and will bring significant efficiencies to help scale ever growing computing, storage, and communication infrastructures. We are happy to provide a forum for a discussion of technical issues and results in this new area of research.
We hope that this workshop is a stepping stone to a bigger and established forum for the exchange of ideas and results in infrastructure virtualization among participants from academia and industry leading to a very fruitful partnership with all its benefits.
Network virtualization allows many networks to share the same underlying physical topology; this technology has offered promise both for experimentation and for hosting multiple networks on a single shared physical infrastructure. Much attention has ...
Network virtualization provides the ability to run multiple concurrent virtual networks over a shared substrate. However, it is challenging to design such a platform to host multiple heterogenous and often highly customized virtual networks. Not only ...
Hosting network services on virtual machines has become appealing for provisioning resources, saving power and enabling migration in case of service disruption, especially in data centers. Network services implemented widely over the Internet may enjoy ...
Virtualization enables multiple networks, each customized for a particular purpose, to run concurrently over a shared substrate. One such model for managing these virtual networks is to create a hosting platform where companies can deploy services by ...
It is envisaged that services and applications will migrate to a cloud-computing paradigm where thin-clients on user devices access, over the network, applications hosted in data centers by application service providers. Examples are cloud based gaming ...
Although the diversity of platforms for network experimentation is a boon to the development of protocols and distributed systems, it is challenging to exploit its benefits. Implementing or adapting the systems under test for such heterogeneous ...
This paper describes a new architecture for achieving network virtualization using virtual NICs (VNICs) as the building blocks. The VNICs can be associated with dedicated and independent hardware lanes that consist of dedicated NIC and kernel resources. ...
The tussle between reliability and functionality of the Internet is firmly biased on the side of reliability. New enabling technologies fail to achieve traction across the majority of ISPs. We believe that the greatest challenge is not in finding ...
The interest in network virtualization has been growing steadily among the networking community in the last few years. Network virtualization opens up new possibilities for the evolution path to the Future Internet by enabling the deployment of ...
Assigning the resources of a virtual network to the components of a physical network, called Virtual Network Mapping, plays a central role in network virtualization. Existing approaches use classical heuristics like simulated annealing or attempt a two ...
We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants' decisions about the quantities of infrastructure that they will choose to contribute to a virtual organization can be ...
New technologies that will be introduced to the Internet should be practically tested for effectiveness and for side effects. A realistic environment that simulates the Internet is needed to experimentally test such technologies, which will be widely ...
