Quick Update
So, I want to give a quick update before I become non-existent for the next couple weeks while I run lots of benchmarks and do lots of analysis of the results of comparing KVM and Xen.
I have some really interesting paths for the rapid recovery project, which is now known as rapidrs, and has a project space on google code which will have code, scripts, examples, etc as I make them available. stay tuned.
For those of you that didn't get to talk to me recently, I had an amazing summer.
I spent a week at USENIX in Boston, which was co-located with Xen Summit, I got to do Xen training and present at Xen summit (all of this I blogged about previously).
I also spent a week in Pennsylvania at Vantage Technologies (vantage.com) doing consulting on Xen. Vantage is a really neat company that was a real pioneer in the field of online accessment, and has some really neat research in that and related fields. The particular piece of their infrastructure that I had the opportunity to work with was very well setup to be able to work on Xen and virtualization. It was a really good time, and it was really awesome to see people use the things that I have learned so much about in theory, seeing them work in practice, and work really well was such a good experience for me. I learned a lot from the Vantage guys as well and I think we all had a good time with it.
I also got to meet with a very interesting company called ATC-NY, located in Ithaca, NY. They are a research lab, focusing on information assurance, reliable computing, and information management, in short all the things I am interested in or have been interested in in the past. They do a lot of interesting security and virtualization work that I got to hear more about. They also let me give a short talk on my research, which was really neat too. They had good feedback and were very nice people to work with. I had a good time meeting and talking with them all.
I am now finally back in Potsdam at Clarkson and settled in to work on my next research paper, before really digging into my research en route to completing my PhD dissertation. I may also be making a trip to IBM next month to meet my IBM PhD Fellowship mentor, maybe give a talk, meet other IBM research peeps, hopefully see Eli and Sean, etc. No exact details on the trip yet though.
Hope you all are still enjoying our xen book
