Network Virtualization Technology to Support Cloud Services

Recently, server virtualization technology, which is one of the key technologies to support cloud computing, has been making progress and gaining in maturity, resulting in an increase in the provision of cloudbased services and the integration of servers in enterprise networks. However, the progress in network virtualization technology, which is needed for the efficient and effective constructi...

Network virtualization for cloud computing

Cloud computing enables a transparent access to information technology (IT) services such that the users do not need to know the location and characteristics of the relevant resources. While IT resource virtualization and service abstraction have been widely investigated, data transport within the cloud and its efficient control have not received much attention in the technical literature. In f...

Intel Virtualization Technology: Hardware Support for Efficient Processor Virtualization

Virtualizing the physical resources of a computing system to improve sharing and utilization has been done for decades. Virtualization had once been confined to specialized server and mainframe systems, but improvements in the performance of platforms based on Intel technology now allow those platforms to efficiently support virtualization. However, the IA-32 and Itanium processor architectures...

Optimizing Cloud Resources for Delivering IPTV Services through Virtualization

Virtualized cloud-based services can take advantage of statistical multiplexing across applications to yield significant cost savings to the operator. In this paper, we seek to lower a provider’s costs of real-time IPTV services through a virtualized IPTV architecture and through intelligent time shifting of service delivery. We take advantage of the differences in the deadlines associated with...
