The Virtual Services is a framework for deploying virtual appliances. A virtual appliance is a pre-built, pre-configured and ready-to-run software application packaged with the operating system inside a virtual machine. In the context of Grid the use of virtual appliances allows to dramatically simplify the process of node configuration and tasks distribution.
The Virtual Services toolkit allows to dynamically manage virtual appliances that may span on several nodes of a computational cluster. These multi-node appliances are referred as virtual clusters. Virtual Services is responsible for establishing networking between the nodes of the virtual cluster and providing the point of entry for the end-user.
The key features of the Virtual Services framework are:
* The use of cluster systems as hardware layer.
* Tools to create a virtual clusters> on a set of virtual machines.
* Automatic management of share of resources available to services.
* UNICORE compat
