| Abstract: | The adoption of cloud computing is still limited by several legal concerns that customers may 68 have, such as data sovereignty. In cloud computing, data can be physically hosted in sensible loca- 69 tions, resulting in a lack of control for companies. In this context, we present the Nu@ge project, 70 which aims at building a federation of container-sized datacenters in the French territory. Nu@ge 71 provides a software stack that enables companies to interconnect independent datacenters in 72 a national mesh. A software architecture is presented and implemented as a federation of small 73 datacenters deployed in France. The proposed architecture enables cooperation between local 74 customized-cloud managers and a federation-wide middleware. It uses monitoring information 75 from facilities and performance indicators from physical servers for managing the system, pre- 76 venting incidents and considering energy efficiency. Additionally, a prototype of a container-sized 77 datacenter has been validated and patented. |
