… At a high level we can consider a virtual machine to encapsulate access to a set of physical
resources. Providing live migration of these VMs in a clustered server environment leads us …

… This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the live migration of system virtual machines
(VMs). Live migration is a key selling point for state-of-the-art virtualization technologies. It …
