This chapter introduces Elastic Management of Tasks in Virtualized Environments (EMOTIVE), which is the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)’s IaaS open-source solution for Cloud Computing. EMOTIVE provides users with elastic fully customized virtual environments in which to execute their applications. Further, it simplifies the development of new middleware services for managing Cloud systems by supporting resource allocation and monitoring, data management, live migration, and checkpoints. These features and its facility to be extended and configured make EMOTIVE especially appropriate to support research on Cloud Computing scenarios. Offering functionality comparable to its commercial counterparts allows EMOTIME to be used on production to set up small Cloud platforms.
