Title
Taiwan UniCloud: A Cloud Testbed with Collaborative Cloud Services.
Abstract
This paper introduces a prototype of Taiwan UniCloud, a community-driven hybrid cloud platform for academics in Taiwan. The goal is to leverage resources in multiple clouds among different organizations. Each self-managing cloud can join the UniCloud platform to share its resources and simultaneously benefit from other clouds with scale-out capabilities. Accordingly, resources are elastic and sharable with each other such as to afford unexpected resource demands to each cloud. The proposed platform provides a web portal to operate each cloud via a uniform user interface. The construction of virtual clusters with multi-core VMs is supplied for parallel and distributed processing models. An object-based storage system is also delivered to federate different storage providers. This paper not only presents the architectural design of Taiwan UniCloud, but also evaluates the performance to demonstrate the possibility of current implementation. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed platform as well as the benefit from the cloud federation.
