The Grid Server Park machines (general services used for Nikhef and BiG Grid) is going to be run with a centrally managed and controlled virtualisation environment. After the testing and evaluation period it is likely (but not yet certain) that the Open Source Xen Cloud Platform (XCP, version 1.5beta) is going to be chosen to run this infrastructure. The aim is to bring all systems under XCP control, managed in a set of clusters:
| Cluster | qty | system type | VM server hostnames | current master |
| Piet | 16 systems | M610: 12 cores, 24 SMT threads, 96 GiB, 2x600GB 10k SAS, dual 8G FC, dual 1GbE + dual 10GbE | vms-piet-*.inst.ipmi.nikhef.nl | |
| Generic | 8 systems | PE2950: 8 cores, 24 GiB, 4x500GB 7k2 SATA, dual 1GbE | vms-gen-*.inst.ipmi.nikhef.nl | vms-gen-05 |
| BL0 | 5 systems | M610: 8 cores, 32 GiB RAM, 2x300GB 10k SAS, dual 1GbE (+dual 8G FC) | vms-bl0-*.inst.ipmi.nikhef.nl | |
| Security | 2 systems | PE2950: 8 cores, 24 GiB, 4x500GB 7k2 SATA, dual 1GbE | vms-sec-*.inst.ipmi.nikhef.nl |
