The Virtual Machine Tsunami
|
|
We are facing a pending tsunami of VMs unleashed by an unprecedented liquidity in system capacity which is enabled by hypervisor-based cloud computing. This is being driven by corporate IT departments that are under greater capital spending constraints as well as by the high friction processes for getting applications into production using the legacy approach -- i.e. provisioning servers with a general purpose OS and then attempting to install/configure the app to work on the production implementation which is no doubt different than the development environment.

Cyber Security: Protection Against Cyberwarfare
|
|
Cyberwarfare has been a long time coming, and it will soon affect a computer near you. It goes far beyond the type of college-hijinks hacking seen just a year ago. This phenomenon occurs in a parallel virtual world, and is essentially the "New Cold War." Instead of seeking protection against physical armies using guns and bullets, institutions must guard against virtual armies whose weapons of choice are worms and viruses. With so much of our world’s economy dependent upon the Internet to function, cyberwarfare is a very real threat that merits close attention to cyber security.
