`
`• The XenoServer Open Platform: Deploying global-scale services for fun and profit
`Evangelos Kotsovinos and David Spence.
`Poster, To appear in ACM SIGCOMM '03, August 2003
`The XenoServer Platform tackles many difficult problems at the same time, allowing users to
`discover XenoServers and deploy global-scale services easily and with a very low cost of
`entry. This poster presents a high-level view of the platform, outlining the research challenges
`faced and the features offered by the platform.
