Virtual versions of servers, applications, networks and storage can be created through virtualization. Its main types include operating system virtualization (VMs), hardware virtualization, application-server virtualization, storage virtualization, network virtualization, administrative virtualization and application virtualization.
The process of virtualization enables the creation of virtual forms of servers, applications, networks and storage. The four main types of virtualization are network virtualization, storage virtualization, application virtualization and desktop virtualization.
The benefits of employing virtualization in the corporate data center are compelling – lower operating
costs, better resource utilization, increased availability of critical infrastructure to name just a few. It is an
apparent “no brainer” which explains why so many organizations are jumping on the bandwagon. Industry
analysts estimate that between 60 and 80 percent of IT departments are actively working on server
consolidation projects using virtualization. But what are the challenges for operations and security staff
when it comes to management and ensuring the security of the new virtual enterprise? With new
technology, complexity and invariably new management challenges generally follow.
Over the last 18 months, Prism Microsystems, a leading security information and event management
(SIEM) vendor, working closely with a set of early adopter customers and prospects, has been working on
extending the capability of EventTracker to provide deep support for virtualization, enabling our customers
to get the same level of security for the virtualized enterprise as they have for their non-virtualized
enterprise. This White Paper examines the technology and management challenges that result from
virtualization, and how EventTracker addresses them.
Virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including virtual computer hardware platforms, operating systems, storage devices, and computer network resources.
Hardware virtualization or platform virtualization refers to the creation of a virtual machine that acts like a real computer with an operating system.
Software executed on these virtual machines is separated from the underlying hardware resources.
For example, a computer that is running Microsoft Windows may host a virtual machine that looks like a computer with the Ubuntu Linux operating system; Ubuntu-based software can be run on the virtual machine

This is summary on Virtualization. It contains benefits and different types of Virtualization. For example:Server Virtualization, Network Virtualization, Data Virtualization etc.
In a general sense, virtualization, is the creation of a virtual, rather than an actual, version of something.
For example:
Google Earth, It is a virtual image of Earth which hold every detail about earth.
From a computing perspective, we might have already done some virtualization if you’ve ever partitioned a hard disk drive into more than one “virtual” drive.
Virtualization in a computing environment can be present in many different forms, some of which are:
Hardware virtualization
Storage and data virtualization
Software virtualization
Network virtualization

This is the first post in my series about the new features in Windows Server 2008 R2. As in my series about the new features of Windows 7, I will update the articles when I learn about new features. I will discuss some of the new features in more detail soon. Essentially, the term "virtualization" covers three different technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2: Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, and Presentation Virtualization. Server Virtualization is based on Hyper-V 2.0, which will get quite a few interesting new features. The virtualization technology ehind Desktop virtualization, i.e., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is also Hyper-V. This is probably the most important new feature in Windows Server 2008 R2. Presentation Virtualization is nothing but the good old Terminal Server. Technically, I find it a bit odd to use the term "virtualization" in this context, but from a marketer's point of view, it probably makes a lot of sense. Note that Microsoft renamed the "Terminal Services" as "Remote Desktop Services" in Windows Server 2008 R2.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
