In this work we introduce the EUBrazilCC federated cloud e-infrastructure based on Fogbow, a new middleware designed to support federation of IaaS cloud providers according to a novel approach. It is based on the provision of federation functionalities offered at a higher architectural level than current approaches by being deployed on top of the IaaS cloud orchestrators of each federation member. Fogbow is endowed with great flexibility due to the use of plugins that allow for the definition of precise interaction points between the federation middleware and the underlying cloud orchestrator. The resulting architecture, which relies on standards for conciliating different orchestrators' peculiarities, is thereby able to provide a common API to decouple federation functionalities from the orchestrator functionalities. Fogbow has been deployed to federate the private clouds of the members of the consortium of the EUBrazilCC project, and is also being used in an experimental federation that is part of the cloud initiative of the Brazilian National Research and Education Network (NREN) operator, as well as in an experimental deployment that aims at federating private clouds belonging to two large public companies in Brazil.

“…We want to remark that virtualization techniques are already widely used in most centres involved in the European Grid Initiative [2] as a fault-tolerant mechanism that simultaneously allows to simplify the maintenance and operation of the main grid services. However, those services remain static from the end users perspective, with little or no possibility to change, tune or enhance the execution environments.…”

We present a new environment for computations in particle physics phenomenology employing recent developments in cloud computing. On this environment users can create and manage "virtual" machines on which the phenomenology codes/tools can be deployed easily in an automated way. We analyze the performance of this environment based on "virtual" machines versus the utilization of physical hardware. In this way we provide a qualitative result for the influence of the host operating system on the performance of a representative set of applications for phenomenology calculations.
