Zimory White Paper: Security in the Cloud pt 2/2Zimory
Once in the Cloud, various assumptions come to mind regarding security matters. For example, most system and network administrators decide to approach virtual network and virtual machine (VM) security the way they do their physical counterparts; applying similar security paradigms.
Security architectures designed for physical networks often fail to provide the required levels of security in the virtual world. Perimeter-based security alone is insufficient in a virtualized infrastructure partially because of virtual machines – which are sometimes, quite literally, moving targets. Dynamic networks, remote access requirements, and host machines to be carefully locked down, are some of the security concerns to be found in Cloud environments. With a little thought and imagination, however, securing your virtual infrastructure is possible provided you are willing to take a closer look.
The following document intends to analyze challenges regarding security in a virtualized environment, especially comparing implications of both physical and virtual environments. Security challenges of the Cloud environment are listed and analyzed, to finalize with possible solutions to face and resolve these challenges.
Zimory White Paper: The Cloud's Slow European Take-offZimory
The term “Cloud” is being increasingly used and analyzed in the IT market. Cloud Services are synonymous with innovative features that clearly differ from the traditional utility computing. Clouds are by definition flexible, dynamic, scalable and heterogeneous, with three defined categories: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). These qualities have proved to be very positive for IT engineering and businesses.
Nevertheless, and because of its novelty, technical and business evolution, the Cloud Computing market presents a certain number of obstacles for companies interested in moving to the Cloud, especially in the early stages.
Decision makers face a sizable considerable number of challenges when considering moving to the Cloud, especially with regards to the following obstacles:
- Pricing policies
- Neutral market place
- Technical standardization
- Lock-in policies
- Data protection and security policies
- Cloud security testing
This paper analyzes these challenges, offering factual, theoretical and practical reasons for the slow take-off of the Cloud Computing market. It also analyzes possible instances to overcome these difficulties, describing Zimory's position and practical solutions to address these market obstacles.
Founded in 2007, Zimory provides carrier-grade cloud infrastructure management software that allows service providers, enterprises and cloud brokers to fully leverage the power and elasticity of cloud computing. Zimory’s intelligent Cloud Suite simplifies, automates and expedites the creation, launch and management of all types of cloud environments – whether public, private, virtual private or hybrid. Zimory software is also a key enabler of cloud marketplaces for enterprise services, applications and infrastructure. Headquartered in Berlin, Zimory has development centers in Erfurt, Germany and Minsk, Belarus, a subsidiary office in New York City and is expanding its expertise and presence globally.

Zimory White Paper: Challenges Implementing an IaaS Cloud ExchangeZimory
The idea of a cloud exchange is a much discussed topic within academic and high-performance computing circles (see Breest, 2007; Buyya, Ranjan, & Calheiros, 2009). The discussion can vary widely based on the type of cloud service being discussed.
Cloud services are commonly divided into three types: IaaS, platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) (Liu et al., n d). There are several SaaS solutions and services in the marketplace that claim to deliver a cloud brokerage or exchange, however these services integrate SaaS offerings in the cloud rather than the buying and selling of services in their respective domains. This means that a SaaS cloud broker can more accurately be described as an integrator of SaaS services. This offering is completely different from an IaaS exchange from both a business and technical standpoint.
The goal of an IaaS cloud exchange is to create a distributed infrastructure in which different components are interchangeable. Controlled by the cloud exchange, the distributed infrastructure not only increases technical capabilities – such as availability and resilience – it also allows consumers to make economic decisions regarding scheduling workloads. While this is valuable to customers, it also increases the technical complexity of an IaaS cloud exchange compared to SaaS. This complexity means there are currently more SaaS services available than IaaS Cloud exchange services.
The remainder of this paper discusses the challenges, requirements and technology for an IaaS cloud exchange.
Zimory white paper: End-to-end Enterprise-Grade Cloud InfrastructureZimory
Infrastructure cloud computing substantially has impacted the data center services market in recent years. Many large-scale web applications are enabled by the use of infrastructure cloud services. Early infrastructure cloud market participants like Amazon, with its Amazon Web Services (AWS) portfolio, targeted such consumer web applications. These cloud services have allowed application developers to reach new levels of agility and cost efficiency, as the applications could scale automatically with demand on the user side.
Naturally, enterprise IT departments are seeking to improve their agility and cost structures and thus seek to exploit cloud computing technologies and principles for their internal systems. But introducing cloud principles in the enterprise IT environment runs into a number of obstacles, including complex legacy application architectures, particular legal requirements governing various IT operational considerations, and strategic supplier dependency realities. To align with these requirements more complex cloud delivery models have been developed, such as distributed hybrid clouds and community clouds. These models introduce further levels of technical complexity and constraints that restrict the span of service utility from an application or ‘use case’ perspective, and reduce the net benefit of cloud to the enterprise.
In this paper we present a solution that shows how the integration of dynamic networking and dynamic computing can extend the utility and feasibility of cloud to include and encompass enterprise-grade distributed data center environments.
This paper is organized as follows. In the next section we discuss in more detail the challenges enterprises face when introducing cloud services into their IT environments. In section III we present the alternative setup scenarios for the solution, and in section IV we explain the solution in detail, describing an example application. We conclude the paper with a consideration of the market outlook for the solution.
Zimory White Paper: Security in the Cloud pt 1/2Zimory
The Cloud has intrinsic and dynamic characteristics of proactivity and interaction. From the customer's point of view, they might seem difficult to control with conventional IT security standards. Cloud computing security is, in reality, not isolated from the standard IT security and data protection policies and regulations. Main security concerns are:
Data protection
Sharing of resources
Differences in country legislations
The following document analyzes on one hand, security in virtualized environments from the Cloud customer’s point of view, justifying the importance of customer awareness about security issues in the Cloud.

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.
