<div class='jive-rendered-content'>Go beyond basic virtualization of a single machine to cover data center virtualization and security. Topics cover the interaction of virtual machines with network switches and network-based storage, and the management of data center resources. Cover security threats and opportunities of virtualization.  <h6>1. Background Material on Datacenters</h6> In this section we provide some background material on datacenter design. The focus is on giving enough information so that students can understand a bit more about some of the system management issues that virtualization can address. Lecture Slides:<a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="http://www.govirtual.org/docs/DOC-1461">Slides - Background Material on Datacenters</a> Reading List <ol><li level="1" type="ol">Basic Definitions<ol><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/data_center_tiers.html">http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/data_center_tiers.html</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datacenter">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datacenter</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/blade_servers.asp">http://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/blade_servers.asp</a></li></ol></li><li level="1" type="ol">Picture of a Datacenter<ol><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://steadfast.net/forum/showthread.php?t=574">http://steadfast.net/forum/showthread.php?t=574</a></li></ol></li><li level="1" type="ol">Datacenter and Rack Standards Documents<ol><li level="2" type="ol">TIA-942 (Datacenter Standard): <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.tiaonline.org/standards">http://www.tiaonline.org/standards</a></li><li level="2" type="ol">EIA-310-d (Rack Standard): <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://electronics.ihs.com/collections/abstracts/eia-310.htm">http://electronics.ihs.com/collections/abstracts/eia-310.htm</a></li></ol></li><li level="1" type="ol">Racks and Airflow<ol><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://docs.sun.com/source/816-1613-14/Chapter3.html">http://docs.sun.com/source/816-1613-14/Chapter3.html</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack-mounted">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack-mounted</a></li></ol></li><li level="1" type="ol">Cabling<ol><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable</a></li></ol></li><li level="1" type="ol">Switches<ol><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.gocomsys.com/product-links.html">http://www.gocomsys.com/product-links.html</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.myri.com/">http://www.myri.com/</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.infinibandta.org/home">http://www.infinibandta.org/home</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.quadrics.com/quadrics/QuadricsHome.nsf/DisplayPages/Homepage">http://www.quadrics.com/quadrics/QuadricsHome.nsf/DisplayPages/Homepage</a></li></ol></li><li level="1" type="ol">Power usage in datacenters<ol><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://enterprise.amd.com/Downloads/svrpwrusecompletefinal.pdf">http://enterprise.amd.com/Downloads/svrpwrusecompletefinal.pdf</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://greenlight.greentechmedia.com/2008/06/26/data-center-power-consumption-by-the-numbers-341/">http://greenlight.greentechmedia.com/2008/06/26/data-center-power-consumption-by -the-numbers-341/</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/844">http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/844</a></li><li level="2" type="ol">Fan, et al, Power Provisioning for a Warehouse-sized Computer, In Proceedings of the International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) 2007, pp. 13-23</li></ol></li><li level="1" type="ol">Future Directions<ol><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/1080">http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/1080</a></li><li level="2" type="ol"><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Grid">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Grid</a></li></ol></li></ol> <h6>2. Storage Virtualization</h6>Introduce the concept of external, network-based (SAN, NAS, iSCSI) storage commonly found in enterprise-class data centers and the storage management functionality they provide. Describe how virtual disks can be mapped to various types of disk storage and the role of filesystems and logical volume managers in managing these mappings.Lecture Slides:<a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="http://www.govirtual.org/docs/DOC-1520">Storage Virtualization</a>Lecture Notes/Guide: See notes in the slidesetAdditional Slides:<a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="http://www.govirtual.org/docs/DOC-1031">Storage Virtualization - (MIT-IAP)</a>Reading List<ol><li level="1" type="ol">Xin Zhao, Atul Prakash, "Improving the storage manageability, flexibility, and security in virtual machine systems", January 2007</li><li level="1" type="ol">See lecture slides for additional references and reading material</li></ol>   <h6>3. Distributed Resource Management</h6> Describe how virtualization allows resource management to extend beyond a single machine, enabling dynamic load balancing and power optimization across a data center.
