This paper presents a data management solution which allows fast Virtual Machine (VM) instantiation and efficient run-time execution to support VMs as execution environments in Grid computing. It is based on novel distributed file system virtualization techniques and is unique in that: it provides on-demand access to VM state for unmodified VM monitors; it supports user-level and write-back disk caches, per-application caching policies and middleware-driven consistency models; and it supports the use of meta-data associated with files to expedite data transfers. The paper reports on its performance in a WAN setup using VMware-based VMs.
