 "OneLab federation is a win-win for EmanicsLab and PlanetLab Europe users, while it allows us to maintain full control over EmanicsLab nodes." David Hausheer, chief researcher at University of Zurich Participating organizations: University of Zurich (Switzerland), INRIA (France), Jacobs University Bremen (Germany), University of Federal Armed Forces Munich (Germany), Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (Poland), Universidat Politechnica de Catalunya (Spain), University College London (UK), University of Pitesti (Romania), University of Twente (Netherlands), Ludwig-Maximilian University Munich (Germany). Initiated in 2007, EmanicsLab is a private PlanetLab testbed managed by the Communication Systems Group at the University of Zurich. Originally funded from 2007-2009 by the European Network of Excellence (NoE) for the Management of Internet Technologies and Complex Services (EMANICS), the testbed is now controlled by the recently-created EmanicsLab Consortium. In order to allow users to continue to benefit from the resource capabilities offered by EmanicsLab, the testbed's creators looked for a way to prolong operations beyond the EMANICS NoE end of project. As the research network had been built using MyPLC, the backend management infrastructure of PlanetLab websites (developed jointly by Princeton University and OneLab innovation partner INRIA), federation with PlanetLab Europe, the European arm of the global PlanetLab system and OneLab's flagship testbed, was a logical solution, which would bring benefits to all participants, while keeping the central management of EmanicsLab nodes under the control of the EmanicsLab administrator. Federation allows EmanicsLab and PlanetLab Europe users to share resources - it is now possible, for example, for an EmanicsLab member to run an experiment on any or all of the 300+ PlanetLab Europe nodes. The 20 EmanicsLab nodes have been added to the machines available to users of the OneLab experimental facility. In addition, after signing a memorandum of understanding with the PlanetLab Europe Consortium, EmanicsLab operators have been relieved of some of the administrative tasks associated with maintaining testbed membership, which were passed over to the testbed management team at PlanetLab Europe, such as ensuring that all members of EmanicsLab are bound by an acceptable use policy. EmanicsLab retains operational independence from the OneLab experimental facility, running a separate "support" mailing list and handling local support requests, including security incidents, without the need to consult their PlanetLab Europe colleagues.
