HP Labs cloud-computing test bed
The HP, Intel and Yahoo! Cloud Computing Test Bed is an open cloud-computing research initiative 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: nothing is off limits. 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.
