Introduction

Open Cirrus is an open cloud-computing research testbed designed to support research into the design, provisioning, and management of services at a global, multi-datacenter scale. The open nature of the testbed is designed to encourage research into all aspects of service and datacenter management. In addition, we hope to foster a collaborative community around the testbed, providing ways to share tools, lessons and best practices, and ways to benchmark and compare alternative approaches to service management at datacenter scale.

  • Availability
  • Data-intensive computing
  • Hadoop

Conference Venue

Moscow is the capital of Russian Federation and the most populous city in Europe. It is a city with very long history dating back to 12th century. The city was the residence of Russian Tsars before the first Emperor Peter I moved the capital to Saint Petersburg, and has been serving as the capital since March 1918. Moscow has many historical attractions, numerous architectural monuments, theatres, museums and other places for active cultural life. Among them the Kremlin, a historic fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, which is the current residence of Russian president; Bolshoi Theatre with many world celebrities of opera and ballet; Tretyakov Gallery which is the national treasure of Russian fine art.

The summit will be hosted by Russian Academy of Sciences, consists of the national academy of Russia and a network of scientific research institutes from across the Russian Federation as well as auxiliary scientific and social units like libraries, publishers and hospitals.
