Network virtualization has become a common research topic that many researchers consider a basis for defining a new generation network architectures. In this paper, we attempt to clarify the concept of network virtualization with its brief history, to introduce the benefit of network virtualization for the future network, to posit our strong belief in that the future network should adopt a form...

Separation of policy from mechanism is a well-known principle in computing literature. Network virtualization reincarnates this very concept in the context of networking architecture. But most of the existing works either tangentially touch the issues regarding the implementation of such architecture or just ignore them completely. In this article we present NVP2P, a network virtualization fram...

Virtualization has gained great acceptance in the server and cloud computing arena. In recent years, it has also been widely applied to real-time embedded systems with stringent timing constraints. We present a comprehensive survey on real-time issues in virtualization for embedded systems, covering popular virtualization systems including KVM, Xen, L4 and others.

Research in virtualization technology has gained significant momentum in recent years, which brings not only opportunities to the forensic community, but challenges as well. In this paper, we discuss the potential roles of virtualization in the area of digital forensics and conduct an investigation on the recent progresses which utilize the virtualization techniques to support modern computer f...

In the growing age of cloud computing demands in almost all the sectors like TV channel to online shopping to educational institution etc., the cloud infrastructure cost goes very high. Therefore, the concept of virtualization needs to be understand and implement in the cloud computing syterms, which enables the user as well as the owners for the better and robust management and usage of the cl...

The energy efficiency has become an important aspect in data centers and large server systems, including the ones used in infrastructure for mobile applications service providers. Virtualization is one of the main research directions for both large scale data centers and applications servers. Furthermore, virtualization is also popular on desktop systems and is now considered in embedded system...

Microsoft acquired Connectix Corporation, a provider of virtualization software for Windows and Macintosh based computing, in early 2003. In late 2003, EMC announced its plans to acquire VMware for $635 million. Shortly afterwards, VERITAS announced that it was acquiring an application virtualization company called Ejascent for $59 million. Sun and Hewlett-Packard have been working hard in rece...

We propose new methods of leveraging virtualization for addressing system dependability issues. Using combinatorial modeling, we analyze multiple design choices when a single physical server is used to host multiple virtual servers. Our results show that unless certain conditions (e.g., regarding the reliability of the hypervisor and the number of VMs) are met, virtualization could decrease the...

Dr. Tim R. Norton Simalytic Solutions, LLC CMG 2009 Paper 9103 Session 601 System Virtualization allows multiple O/S images to execute on a single physical host computer. Measuring the host resource usage is straightforward and the necessary tools are included with most virtualization environments. However, complexities introduced by the different virtualization techniques create problems with ...
