When users flood in cloud data centers, how to efficiently manage hardware resources and
virtual machines (VMs) in a data center to both lower economical cost and ensure a high …

Deduplication is a storage saving technique that is highly successful in enterprise backup
environments. On a file system, a single data block might be stored multiple times across …

Cloud computing centers face the key challenge of provisioning diverse virtual machine
instances in an elastic and scalable manner. To address this challenge, we have performed …

Containers are increasingly used in a broad spectrum of applications from cloud services to
storage to supporting emerging edge computing paradigm. This has led to an explosive …

Deduplication is known to effectively eliminate duplicates, yet it introduces fragmentation
that degrades read performance. We propose RevDedup, a deduplication system that …

Optimizing the virtual machine (VM) migration is an important issue of server consolidation
in the cloud data center. By leveraging the content similarity among the memory of VMs, the …

Deduplication has become a widely deployed technology in cloud data centers to improve IT
resources efficiency. However, traditional techniques face a great challenge in big data …

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) allows users to rent resources from the Cloud to meet their
various computing requirements. The pay-as-you-use model, however, poses a nontrivial …

Edge computing promises to extend Clouds by moving computation close to data sources to
facilitate short-running and low-latency applications and services. Providing fast and …

Docker containers have been increasingly adopted on various computing platforms to
provide a lightweight virtualized execution environment. Compared to virtual machines, this …
