Federated Campus Cloud Colombian Initiative

Desktop cloud paradigm arises from combining cloud computing with volunteer computing systems in order to harvest the idle computational resources of volunteers' computers Students usually underuse university computer rooms. As a result, a desktop cloud can be seen as a form of high performance computing (HPC) at a low cost. When the capacity of a desktop cloud is insufficient to execute a HPC project, a new opportunity for collaborative work among universities appears, resulting in a federation of desktop cloud systems to create a significant amount of virtual resources from multiple providers on non-dedicated infrastructure. Even though cloud federation generates research activity today, neither interoperability among several implementations of cloud computing nor the federation of desktop clouds are resolved issues. Therefore, our initiative is related to gathering the existing and idle computer resources provided by the universities that take part to form a cloud federation on non-dedicated infrastructure.
