    Abstract

    This paper presents the design of an autonomic, resource-aware distributed
    database which enables data to be backed up and shared without complex manual
    administration. The database, H2O, is designed to make use of unused resources
    on workstation machines. Creating and maintaining highly-available, replicated
    database systems can be difficult for untrained users, and costly for IT
    departments.

    Abstract

    We consider how underused computing resources within an enterprise may be
    harnessed to improve utilization and create an elastic computing
    infrastructure. Most current cloud provision involves a data center model, in
    which clusters of machines are dedicated to running cloud infrastructure
    software. We propose an additional model, the ad hoc cloud, in which
    infrastructure software is distributed over resources harvested from machines
    already in existence within an enterprise.
