N1 - Funding Information:
The Open Cirrus™ project aims to address this problem by providing systems researchers with a testbed of distributed data centers they can use for systems-level (as well as applications and services) cloud computing research. (Open Cirrus™ is a trademark of Yahoo!, Inc.). The project is a joint initiative sponsored by HP, Intel, and Yahoo!, in collaboration with NSF, the University of Illinois (UIUC), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore. Additional Open Cirrus site members are expected to join in 2009.
Funding Information:
Partial funding for the Open Cirrus UIUC site was provided by NSF. We would like to recognize a number of people who have made significant contributions to Open Cirrus, including A. Chien, R. Gass, K. Goswami, C. Hsiung, J. Kistler, M. Ryan, C. Whitney, and J. Wilkes. Wilkes in particular was instrumental in formulating the original Open Cirrus vision, as well as the notion of the PRS.

N2 - There are a number of important and useful testbeds, such as PlanetLab, EmuLab, IBM/Google cluster, and Amazon EC2/S3, that enable researchers to study different aspects of distributed computing. However, no single testbed supports research spanning systems, applications, services, open-source development, and datacenters. Towards this end, we have developed Open Cirrus, a cloud computing testbed for the research community that federates heterogeneous distributed data centers. Open Cirrus offers a cloud stack consisting of physical and virtual machines, and global services, such as sign-on, monitoring, storage, and job submission. By developing the testbed and making it available to the research community, we hope to help spur innovation in cloud computing and catalyze the development of an open source stack for the cloud.
