Cloud ruins: Ericsson's Vaudreuil-Dorion data centre and infrastructural abandonment

چکیده
The past decade has seen the accelerated growth and expansion of large-scale data centre operations across world to support emerging consumer business computation needs. Built out rapidly, these emergent digital infrastructures carry promise for new local industrial futures, all while their paths obsolescence are shortened. Their lifespans dependent on financial speculation, shifting corporate strategies, advances in technology. In this article we track afterlife an abruptly abandoned constructed by global telecom giant Ericsson Vaudreuil-Dorion, a town near Montréal, Québec, Canada, order expand debates about ruination. Employing site visits, press reports, qualitative interviews with architects staff involved centre's development Sweden propose ‘cloud ruins’ as sensitising concept capture some specific meanings material articulations that abandonment may evoke contexts. Simultaneously familiar novel, cloud ruins anticipate landscape post-digital ruination unfolds built environment peripheral communities, part logistical cities from within which our contemporary understandings digitalisation produced.

Avoiding Overload by Using Virtual Machine in Cloud Data Centre
Cloud data centres improve CPU utilization of their servers (physical machines or PMs) through Virtualization (virtual machines or VMs). Over virtualized and under virtualized PMs suffer performance degradation and power dissipation respectively. In this paper, system that uses virtualization technology to allocate data center resources dynamically based on application demands and support green...
متن کاملPrivacy and Security of Big Data in THE Cloud
Big data has been arising a growing interest in both scien- tific and industrial fields for its potential value. However, before employing big data technology into massive appli- cations, a basic but also principle topic should be investigated: security and privacy. One of the biggest concerns of big data is privacy. However, the study on big data privacy is still at a very early stage. Many or...

متن کاملImproving Data Availability Using Combined Replication Strategy in Cloud Environment
As grow as the data-intensive applications in cloud computing day after day, data popularity in this environment becomes critical and important. Hence to improve data availability and efficient accesses to popular data, replication algorithms are now widely used in distributed systems. However, most of them only replicate the static number of replicas on some requested chosen sites and it is ob...
