: © vManage: Loosely Coupled Platform and Virtualization Management in Data Centers Sanjay Kumar, Vanish Talwar, Vibhore Kumar, Parthasarathy Ranganathan, Karsten Schwan HP Laboratories HPL-2009-117 Management, Algorithms, Performance, Standardization Management is an important challenge for future enterprises. Previous work has addressed platform management (e.g., power and thermal management) separately from virtualization management (e.g., virtual machine (VM) provisioning, application performance). Coordinating the actions taken by these different management layers is important and beneficial, for reasons of performance, stability, and efficiency. Such coordination, in addition to working well with existing multi-vendor solutions, also needs to be extensible to support future new management solutions potentially operating on different sensors and actuators. In response to these requirements, this paper proposes vManage, a solution to loosely couple platform and virtualization mana...
