Transcript of GRC - CANARIE Green IT 2009
Data Centre Automation and Sustainability
Cameron KiddleResearch Fellow
Grid Research Centre (GRC)University of Calgary
March 4, 2009 CANARIE Green IT Workshop - 2
Automated Service Provisioning ENvironment (ASPEN) Developed by the GRC (in
collaboration with HP Labs) to enable dynamic allocation and management of virtual machines/cloud services in a data centre
Similar to Eucalyptus, Nimbus and OpenNebula but has greater focus on scheduling capabilities and efficient image management
March 4, 2009 CANARIE Green IT Workshop - 3
Applications Running in ASPEN GeoChronos
CANARIE NEP project a collaborative cloud-based
computing environment for earth observation scientists
Rendering Cloud Cybera industry pilot project
with EDM Studio Inc A collaborative cloud-based
rendering service
March 4, 2009 CANARIE Green IT Workshop - 4
Proposed Plans of the GRC Continue to explore automation and sustainability of data
centres Improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, minimize ecological
impact Extend ASPEN to support migration of virtual machines/
cloud services between data centres Automate migrations based on economic and ecological impact Enable migration to zero carbon data centres Enable follow the sun/follow the wind grids
Deploy GeoChronos platform, cloud-based rendering service, and/or other real world applications in extended ASPEN environment
