Performance considerations for VM to VM communication in network function virtualization infrastructure

Oracle VM, Performance Evaluation of Oracle VM Server Virtualization Software

Premise: Server resources often are underutilized. It often is easy to accommodate the need for additional server resources by adding more hardware. But in today’s costconscious landscape, with an emphasis on energy efficiency and managing power consumption, server virtualization emerges as a viable solution to maximize server utilization, achieve efficiency, provide scalability, while also bei...

Oracle On Demand Infrastructure: Virtualization with Oracle VM White Paper

RetroVisor: Nested Virtualization for Multi IaaS VM Availability

Nested virtualization [1] provides an extra layer of virtualization to enhance security with fairly reasonable performance impact. Usercentric vision of cloud computing gives a high-level of control on the whole infrastructure [2], such as untrusted dom0 [3, 4]. This paper introduces RetroVisor, a security architecture to seamlessly run a virtual machine (VM) on multiple hypervisors simultaneou...

Enhancing VM Migration Performance in Cloud Environment

Cloud computing is a technology that used for distributed computing, on a network. It is meant network-based services that these services are provided by virtual ISPs. Virtual machine migration has been tout as one of the crucial technologies that improving data center efficiency, such as maintaining load balance and reducing energy cost. However, traditional approaches of could not avoid the s...

Algorithm Design for Performance Aware VM Consolidation

Consolidation of multiple workloads, encapsulated in virtual machines (VMs), can significantly improve efficiency in cloud infrastructures. But consolidation also introduces contention in shared resources such as the memory hierarchy, leading to degraded VM performance. To avoid such degradation, the current practice is to not pack VMs tightly and leave a large fraction of server resource unuse...
