Abstract
We have pioneered the deployment of EverLab, a production level
private PlanetLab system using high-end clusters spread over Europe.
EverLab supports both experimentation and computational work,
incorporating many of the features found on Grid systems. This paper
describes the decision process that led us to choose PlanetLab and the
challenges that we faced during our implementation and production
phases. We detail the monitoring systems that were deployed on EverLab
and their impact on our management policies. The paper concludes with
suggestions for future work on private PlanetLabs and federated
systems.
