Communicating Virtualization to Non-IT AudiencesAkweli Parker
Virtualization brings numerous benefits including cost savings, reduced carbon footprint and potentially reduced IT workload. Implementing it successfully requires adaptation that some employees may find challenging. This paper explores those challenges and explains how to cultivate broad-based support for your virtualization project.
The document discusses software defined datacenters. It explains that software defined datacenters separate the control plane from the hardware using software that allows infrastructure services to be consumed as programmable hardware and software. This approach abstracts intelligence from individual hardware components like storage, servers, and networking to create pools of resources that can be delivered as virtual services. It further discusses how this model enables scalability, dynamism, elasticity, automation, and the integration of new applications.
Virtualization abstracts the underlying physical hardware and allows multiple virtual machines to run on the same server. This provides benefits like server consolidation, increased hardware utilization, and improved security. While virtualization works well for most applications, some resource-intensive or real-time applications may have performance limitations in a virtualized environment. Virtualization is now being applied at larger scales through cloud computing, where virtual machines and services can be provisioned on-demand from large-scale data centers.
Vmware Seminar Security & Compliance for the cloud with Trend MicroGraeme Wood
The document discusses security and compliance requirements for cloud computing. It provides an overview of key compliance standards and regulations that affect customers. It then discusses some of the unique security challenges that virtualized and cloud environments can present compared to traditional IT environments. Specifically, it notes that system boundaries are less clear in virtual systems and that more components and complexity are involved. Finally, it outlines some of the foundations that VMware and its partners are providing to help address these challenges, such as security hardening guides, virtual trust zones, and network segmentation controls.
Virtualization allows running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. Originally, emulation was used which copies the behavior of a complete computer to software. Modern virtualization improved efficiency by introducing a hypervisor that runs directly on hardware between virtual machines and hardware, without requiring a host operating system. Virtualization can be done through full virtualization, which requires no guest OS modifications but has performance overhead, or paravirtualization where the guest OS uses specialized APIs to improve performance by generating more efficient instructions for the virtualized environment.

Why Security Teams should care about VMwareJJDiGeronimo
The document discusses VMware's security strategy and how virtualization provides security benefits. It outlines how virtualization allows automation of manual security processes, improves forensics capabilities, and makes patching and recovery faster. VMware focuses on integrating products into existing security policies while enabling broad security for all VMs. Features like vShield Zones and VMsafe appliances provide centralized security management and protection of virtual environments. Virtualization also extends these security advantages from the datacenter to endpoint devices through portable client-side virtual machines.
The most mature, proven, and comprehensive platform. VMware vSphere is fifth-generation virtualization—many years ahead of any alternative. It delivers higher reliability, more advanced capabilities, and greater performance than competing solutions.
Teneja Group report highlighting the need for performance management solutions that guarantee service assurance and delivery in the data center. This report illustrates that while virtualization has brought many benefits and changed the nature of how we host applications; it has also brought to light "a critical gap for IO and storage." The report stresses the need for increased visibility into the physical infrastructure and how Virtual Instruments can assure the success of virtualizing mission critical applications.
Virtualization vulnerabilities, security issues, and solutions:
Virtualization is technological revolution that
separates functions from underlying hardware and allows
us to create useful environment from abstract resources.
Virtualization technology has been targeted by attackers
for malicious activity. Attackers could compromise VM
infrastructures, allowing them to access other VMs on the
same system and even the host.
This presentation emphasize on
the assessment of virtualization specific vulnerabilities,
security issues and possible solutions.

Customers can access production-level servers, storage, networking and security without the large upfront capital costs of owning their own infrastructure. This allows customers to rapidly deploy capacity as needed and reshape their IT environment flexibly.
Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a single computer through virtual machines. There are security risks to virtualization including compromise of the virtualization layer which could impact all virtual machines, lack of visibility into internal virtual networks, mixing virtual machines of different trust levels on a single physical server, and lack of access controls on the hypervisor layer. Security teams must be involved in virtualization projects from the beginning to help address these risks.
Your IT infrastructure must transform along with the pace of business. And IT professionals need solutions that can support them wherever they are in their transformation process. The answer? Comprehensive virtual infrastructure solutions that can address IT needs today and tomorrow, no matter the business or industry.
Protect Your End-of-Life Windows Server 2003 Operating SystemSymantec
End of Support is Not the End of Business When software vendors announce a product end-of-life (EOL), customers typically have 24 to 30 months to plan and execute their migration strategies. This period is typically referred to as limited support. After the last day of support (also known as “end of support life date”), the product becomes obsolete, and the vendor will no longer automatically issue security patches. Customers have the option to purchase “extended or custom support” from the vendor after this date.
In many instances, the window for the availability of vendor support for the EOL product could be shorter than the time it would take for the customer to effectively migrate applications and processes to a new platform.
Customers may also be running custom applications that may not be compatible with the new platform. These gaps potentially expose unsupported systems to zero-day threats and new malware attacks. In order to address these potential risks, businesses will need to make some hard decisions:
• Run the applications in the unsupported platform.
• Execute an aggressive migration strategy for the mission-critical applications.
• Purchase an expensive extended support contract from the software vendor.
• Implement a security solution to harden and monitor the unsupported systems.
