Abstract:
VICCI is a cloud-computing research testbed for developing next-generation Internet services. VICCI encompasses a distributed set of virtualized compute clusters and networking hardware, as well as the software that enables multiple researchers to innovate both at and above the infrastructure layer. VICCI is designed to support research into the design, provisioning, and management of a global, multi-datacenter infrastructure---the cloud---and also into the design and deployment of large-scale distributed services that use such an environment. VICCI is a distributed instrument, with a point-of-presence at Princeton, Georgia Tech, Stanford, and the University of Washington, along with international clusters in Europe and Japan.
