This paper takes a tour of Virtual Machine Migration systems across physical servers in datacenter which includes it’s architecture, basic working, migration strategies, design issues and goals. Despite of various on-going research for more than two decade in this field, variations in migrations procedures, context, environment and needs is still a major challenge faced by it. Keywords— Virtual...

This study proposes a model for supporting the decision making process of the cloud policy for the deployment of virtualmachines in cloud environments. We explore two configurations, the static case in which virtual machines are generated according to the cloud orchestration, and the dynamic case in which virtual machines are reactively adapted according to the job submissions, using migration,...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a system that uses virtual machine technology [1] to provide fast, transparent application migration. This is the first system that can migrate unmodified applications on unmodified mainstream Intel x86-based operating system, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, Novell NetWare and others. Neither the application nor any clients communicating...

LCC is a Lightweight Coordination Calculus which can be used to provide an executable, declarative specification of an agent interaction model. In this paper, we describe an LCC-based system for specifying the migration behaviour of virtual machines within, and between datacentres. We present some example models, showing how they can be used to implement different policies for the machine alloc...

Nowadays, the use of clusters in research centers or industries is undeniable. Since few years, the usage of virtual machines (VM) offers more advanced resource management capabilities, using features such as virtual machine live migration. Because of the latest contributions in the domain, some may argue that single system image (SSI) technologies are now deprecated, without considering some c...

Determining how many virtual machines a Linux host could run can be a challenge. One of tough missions is to find the balance among performance, density and usability. Now KVM hypervisor has become the most popular open source full virtualization solution. It supports several ways of running guests with more memory than host really has. Due to large differences between minimum and maximum guest...
