FYP Briefing PresentationBuilding an Efficient IaaS:

- Let’s become experts in cloud computing!

April 15, 2010

An IaaS?

Using remote desktop or SSH to access allocated machines.

Network file

system

Things Involved?

Storage Farm

Computing Farm

VMVM

VM

Dynamic HostingEnvironment

Techniques Involved?

David and Marcus (TYW0901) have already explored and implemented a way to optimize the storage usage.

This year’s FYP will be look at the optimization in the network file system side!

Traffic Optimization!

Data Deduplication!

Traffic Optimization?

Web Proxy

Web proxy is a special case of traffic optimization.

Such an optimization is to: - Minimize # of duplicated transfers, and - Remove load from a slow component.

Cloud Optimization?

Clearly, the storage is a slow component!

Can we detect and optimize the traffic between the computing node and the storage?Explorary!

No need to be a TYW0901’s

Project Goal

• My Expectation:– I really want to play on a cloud!– Outcome is not the most important thing,

to me, the findings and your adventure on the cloud are more attractive.

• Work together with passion!– Turn this project as a chance to learn ho

w to build a cloud!– Make this project something that you wa

nt to show off!

Thank You! Any Questions?
