| Abstract |
In the CERN Openlab, we have researched virtualization as a means to
achieve more dynamic, secure and manageable Grid resources. Benchmarks
have shown that Xen can provide a virtualization platform with negligible
CPU overhead. Xen has successfully been deployed in the LHC Computing
Grid and passed all test runs. Since VMs run isolated, we envision
allowing users to deploy their own OSes and applications in the Grid and
provisioning VMs on demand. |
