There are a number of important and useful testbeds, such
as PlanetLab, EmuLab, IBM/Google cluster, and Amazon
EC2/S3, that enable researchers to study different aspects
of distributed computing. However, no single testbed
supports research spanning systems, applications,
services, open-source development, and datacenters.
Towards this end, we have developed Open Cirrus, a
cloud computing testbed for the research community that
federates heterogeneous distributed data centers. Open
Cirrus offers a cloud stack consisting of physical and
virtual machines, and global services, such as sign-on,
monitoring, storage, and job submission. By developing
the testbed and making it available to the research
community, we hope to help spur innovation in cloud
computing and catalyze the development of an open
source stack for the cloud.
