TL;DR: Sandpiper is a system that automates the task of monitoring and detecting hotspots, determining a new mapping of physical to virtual resources, resizing virtual machines to their new allocations, and initiating any necessary migrations, and it is shown that the gray-box approach can help Sandpiper make more informed decisions, particularly in response to memory pressure.

TL;DR: The CloudNet architecure is presented as a cloud framework consisting of cloud computing platforms linked with a VPN based network infrastructure to provide seamless and secure connectivity between enterprise and cloud data center sites to realize the vision of efficiently pooling geographically distributed data center resources.

TL;DR: An automated model generation procedure effectively characterizes the different virtualization overheads of two diverse hardware platforms and that the models have median prediction error of less than 5% for both the RUBiS and TPC-W benchmarks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a data link is established across a wide area network between a first distributive computing network and a second distributional computing network, and the virtual machine is migrated via the data link by transmitting a memory state of at least one application on the first host to the second host while the application is operating.

TL;DR: It is argued that cloud computing platforms are well suited for offering DR as a service due to their pay-as-you-go pricing model that can lower costs, and their use of automated virtual platforms that can minimize the recovery time after a failure.
