  Novosi­birsk Sci­en­tif­ic Cen­ter (NSC), also known world­wide as Akadem­gorodok, is one of the largest Rus­sian sci­en­tif­ic cen­ters host­ing Novosi­birsk State Uni­ver­si­ty (NSU) and more than 35 re­search or­ga­ni­za­tions of the Siberi­an Branch of Rus­sian Acade­my of Sci­ences in­clud­ing Bud­ker In­sti­tute of Nu­cle­ar Physics (BINP), In­sti­tute of Com­pu­ta­tion­al Tech­nolo­gies, and In­sti­tute of Com­pu­ta­tion­al Math­e­mat­ics and Math­e­mat­i­cal Geo­physics (ICM&MG). Since each in­sti­tute has spe­cif­ic re­quire­ments on the ar­chi­tec­ture of com­put­ing farms in­volved in its re­search field, cur­rent­ly we've got sev­er­al com­put­ing fa­cil­i­ties host­ed by NSC in­sti­tutes, each op­ti­mized for the par­tic­u­lar set of tasks, of which the largest are the NSU Su­per­com­put­er Cen­ter, Siberi­an Su­per­com­put­er Cen­ter (ICM&MG), and a Grid Com­put­ing Fa­cil­i­ty of BINP. A ded­i­cat­ed op­ti­cal net­work with the ini­tial band­width of 10 Gbps con­nect­ing these three fa­cil­i­ties was built in order to make it pos­si­ble to share the com­put­ing re­sources among the re­search com­mu­ni­ties, thus in­creas­ing the ef­fi­cien­cy of op­er­at­ing the ex­ist­ing com­put­ing fa­cil­i­ties and of­fer­ing a com­mon plat­form for build­ing the com­put­ing in­fras­truc­ture for fu­ture sci­en­tif­ic pro­jects. Uni­fi­ca­tion of the com­put­ing in­fras­truc­ture is achieved by ex­ten­sive use of vir­tu­al­iza­tion tech­nol­o­gy based on XEN and KVM plat­forms. Our con­tri­bu­tion gives a thor­ough re­view of the pre­sent sta­tus and fu­ture de­vel­op­ment prospects for the NSC vir­tu­al­ized com­put­ing in­fras­truc­ture fo­cus­ing on its ap­pli­ca­tions for han­dling ev­ery­day data pro­cess­ing tasks of HEP ex­per­i­ments being car­ried out at BINP.
