Virtual Infrastructure Management Framework for Cloud Computing
Abstract
In this paper, we presented challenges involved in computational biology applications where enormous computing power and storage is required. In this context, we presented virtual infrastructure management framework Phoenix that aims to extend existing command-line-based management tools into a Web-based tool with security added. This is an open source framework built above OpenNebula to support VirtualBox and other standard hypervisors. The drivers developed are seamlessly integrated with current codebase with the Web-based graphical front end. The Phoenix framework is to manage GenomicsCloud, the Cloud Computing environment aligned to specific needs of OMIC sciences applications. Performance results of Phoenix indicate that the overhead induced is very less compared with functionalities introduced in this ecosystem.
