Abstract

Software-Defined Infrastructure provides a unified architecture for integrated management of virtualized heterogeneous resources in cloud infrastructures. Monitoring and measurement is an important component in the Software-Defined Infrastructure. In this paper, we describe the architecture of Software-Defined Infrastructure focusing on its monitor- ing and measurement manager. The monitoring and measurement manager has been implemented in a system called MonArch, which is capable of performing integrated mon- itoring of heterogeneous resources. MonArch has been de- ployed and operational in the SAVI Testbed. Flexible analytics capability and scalability of MonArch is demonstrated through two use cases: virtual machine communication analysis and anomaly detection.
