+ | Since the building of the first computers, we are witnessing a continuous evolution of computer science towards more and more abstraction of hardware resources. It has been extended so far to the trendy //virtual machine// concept that offers the possibility to run any system over any other one. This building block is the foundation of recent distributed virtualized infrastructures, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The UBIVERTEX project aims at setting up a platform for conducting researches and validating technologies with respect to virtualization of complex and large scale IT systems.** On one hand, the platform will offer innovating services enabling the launch of experiments on networking and storage virtualization in addition to the current capability of processor virtualization. On the other hand, it will allow solving a large scope of issues related to distributed virtualized systems. | ||

+ | Among the numerous challenges UBIVERTEX will contribute to solve, the major ones are related to the large-scale management of ``on demand'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Being a platform to study next-generation IT systems, UBIVERTEX shall generate many and diverse scientific and technological impacts. The main target community is the scientific one dealing with IT infrastructure, | ||
+ | Obviously, UBIVERTEX will impact IT technologies, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The audience targeted by the UBIVERTEX platform includes academic research teams, start-ups, and industrial actors including large private companies. A special SME group will be set up to allow small startup companies working on large virtualized and distributed systems to access the platform for their own developments. Regarding the usage modality, the platform will be open worldwide based on an entry fee, defined according to the users' commitment. Finally, an advisory board will be created, composed of actors of private and academic entities. This advisory board will meet once a year and will define the main orientations of the project. | ||
