Network Management in Virtualized Infrastructures

Service Oriented Infrastructures (SOI) build upon previous advancements in Distributed Systems, Grid Computing, Cloud Computing, Virtualization, SOA, and technologies alike. Capabilities merged under the banner of SOI offer a solution that serves long-standing business needs, but also meets increasing demand for infrastructures, enabling the fast and flexible deployment of new services. However, typical current SOI realizations, e.g., Grid or Cloud solutions, do not take the network infrastructure, necessary for flawless service interaction, sufficiently into consideration. In most cases, those frameworks focus on providing huge and extremely divisible applications with hardware resources possibly distributed over several provider domains. They manage just computing related resources like CPU and RAM or Storage (e.g. Amazon Web Services), but network connectivity is typically taken for granted while network Quality of Service (QoS) aspects (e.g., jitter, delay) of the data exchange is usually not considered. Consequently, the data exchange between changeably deployed components cannot be comprehensively treated. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-60960-827-9.ch012
