Server virtualization is one of the hottest topics for the capacity planner. How does a hardware virtualization environment like VMware ESX impact the performance measurements we've been accustomed to getting from Windows and Linux? If you can't measure it, you can't manage it, so how are we to measure and understand this new environment? This paper presents a lab-based study designed specifica...

Three concepts (a) network programmability by clear separation of data and control planes and (b) sharing of network infrastructure to provide multitenancy, including traffic and address isolation, in large data center networks and (c) replacing the functions that traditionally run on a specialized hardware, with the software-realizations that run on commodity servers have gained lot of attenti...

Emergence of smartphones brings to live the concept of converged devices with the availability of web amenities. Such trend also challenges the mobile devices manufactures and service providers in many aspects, such as security on mobile phones, complex and long time design flow, as well as higher development cost. Among these aspects, security on mobile phones is getting more and more attentio...

In this paper we discuss an emerging direction for Intel® vProTM technology called Dynamic Virtual Client (DVC) computing. DVC addresses the needs of IT organizations and end-users by enabling client computing diversity across alternative computing models. DVC is a client virtualization architecture combining hardwareand software-enabled features based on the foundation elements of Intel® Virtu...

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...
