Sustainable Cloud (Research Project): The research was carried out as a series of experiments on different parameters affecting the above mentioned areas like compute, storage and network contrasting the performance to power consumption and the tradeoffs therein and looking for an optimally balanced resource utilization. This work has resulted in 2 research papers and a contribution to Openstack.
Cloud federation – Hybrid Cloud (Research Project): Research was based on Openstack technology (scheduling & security) and extending its architecture for hybrid cloud solutions by enabling cloud bursting either from private cloud to public clouds or between the private cloud deployment. The project resulted in journal and conference publications, Openstack Summit presentations and contribution to Openstack community.
