Ruben S. Montero has published a series of posts in the DSA-research blog on the benefits of virtualizing a distributed infrastructure with the OpenNebula Virtual Infrastructure Engine:
- In "The Private Clouds", Ruben discusses the motivations for building a private cloud using open-source technology.
- In "When 8 are 26 (or even more)", he shows a real case of server consolidation using OpenNebula to orchestrate a distributed infrastructure running Xen and KVM nodes
I highly recommend these posts, showing the advantages of
OpenNebula for the orchestration of virtual machines across a pool of resources.
