With the rapid development of cloud-based tools and techniques, IaaS is changing the current cloud infrastructure to meet the customer demand. In this paper, an efficient management model is presented and evaluated using our unique Trans-Atlantic high-speed optical fibre network connecting three datacentres located in Coleraine (Northern Ireland), Dublin (Ireland) and Halifax (Canada). Our work highlights the design and implementation of a management system that can dynamically create VMs upon request, process live migration and other services over the high-speed inter-networking Datacentres (DCs). The goal is to provide an efficient and intelligent on-demand management system for virtualization that can make decisions about the migration of VMs and get better utilisation of the network.展开更多

The TPM-based integrity verification policy is presented to ensure that all participating entities in this process are trustworthy. In data transfer phase, the specific encryp- tion scheme is designed to associate the decipher process with one certain platform status so that only the destination platform can gain the key data of the migrated VM and vTPM instance. The security of this new protocol is analyzed. The results show that this protocol can effectively resist most of the attacks in the proc- ess ofvTPM-VM live migration.展开更多
