Cloud Technology and Virtualization
There are many reasons companies and organizations are investing in server virtualization. Some of the reasons are financially motivated, while others address technical concerns. Server virtualization conserves space through consolidation. It's common practice to dedicate each server to a single application. If several applications only use a small amount of processing power, the network administrator can consolidate several machines into one server running multiple virtual environments. For companies that have hundreds or thousands of servers, the need for physical space can decrease significantly. Server virtualization provides a way for companies to practice redundancy without purchasing additional hardware. Redundancy refers to running the same application on multiple servers. It's a safety measure -- if a server fails for any reason, another server running the same application can take its place. This minimizes any interruption in service. It wouldn't make sense to build two virtual servers performing the same application on the same physical server. If the physical server were to crash, both virtual servers would also fail. In most cases, network administrators will create redundant virtual servers on different physical machines. Virtual servers offer programmers isolated, independent systems in which they can test new applications or operating systems. Rather than buying a dedicated physical machine, the network administrator can create a virtual server on an existing machine. Because each virtual server is independent in relation to all the other servers, programmers can run software without worrying about affecting other applications (Strickland 2013).
Cloud computing is ideal for small companies, as it’s cost-effective, saves time and energy, and it allows for a high level of customization. According to Forbes, a 2009 study found that cloud computing could save up to 67% of the lifecycle cost for server deployment on a large scale. Another study found that using cloud solutions generally results in higher investment returns (when compared to an on-site system). There are further cost saving benefits, such as less need for expensive hardware and software, and no need for physical networks or IT maintenance. Also, cloud systems are usually ‘pay-as-you-go’, so you only pay for what you use. There are no upfront investments, and IT requirements can be easily budgeted for. Also, various cloud services can either be added or scaled back, depending on where your business is, and how much growth is taking place. The cloud is also highly customizable: you can select what platform you want, which payroll software to use, and what email marketing tools you require – all from different vendors, and all individually configurable (K2 SEO 2013).

Server Virtualization and Cloud Computing: Four Hidden Impacts on ...webhostingguy
Virtualization and cloud computing introduce new risks to uptime and availability due to single points of failure, I/O and scalability limitations, and challenges with failover and fault isolation. Using fault-tolerant server hardware can help address these issues by eliminating single points of failure, improving I/O performance, and simplifying deployment. Fault-tolerant servers are well-suited for high-performance, high-density, or mission-critical environments that require five-nines uptime.
The document summarizes an IDC white paper on converged infrastructure. The key points are:
1) IT infrastructure has become highly complex over time, leading to rising management costs as organizations have had to integrate different systems. Server virtualization has helped contain hardware costs but not management overhead.
2) Converged infrastructure integrates servers, storage, networking and management tools into a single system. This simplifies deployment and lowers management costs through automation.
3) Converged systems represent the natural evolution of IT infrastructure as different technologies gradually integrate over multiple technology cycles. Convergence enables more dynamic, efficient "private cloud" environments within organizations.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The technology industry has reached a crossroads. After more than a decade of
physical server sprawl, nearly exponential growth in storage, and a proliferation of
network technologies, IT organizations are now facing tremendous challenges in
planning for a future enterprise architecture that is less expensive, less complex, and
F.508.935.4015
more agile than today's infrastructure. At the core of this reinvention is virtualization
and, increasingly, a converged set of IT infrastructure that is built on a service-centric
approach to supporting the business. This new technology cycle is squarely aimed at
improving utilization rates, driving efficiency across the datacenter, and simplifying
deployment and ongoing maintenance in order to ultimately shorten time to market
P.508.872.8200
and optimize the business value from IT investments.
Many IT organizations are well on their way to creating a more flexible and
responsive enterprise architecture. Server virtualization has quickly become
mainstream and is the foundational platform for the datacenter. More than 50% of all
Global Headquarters: 5 Speen Street Framingham, MA 01701 USA
server workloads are now deployed on virtual machines, and this is driving a sea
change in the types of technologies that IT organizations are procuring and
configuring and their approach to IT processes and practices.
We have already seen customers move toward more richly configured servers to
maximize the number of virtual machines (VMs) consolidated per physical server. The
correct balance of processor, memory, and I/O is critical in architecting an effective
virtualization solution. Initially, the emphasis on building physical systems for virtual
machines focused on multicore processors. However, with the maturity in
virtualization, most IT organizations now report that the single greatest limiter in
driving higher VM densities is tied to the amount of memory that their virtual machines
can access. Servers that were previously built to support single applications have
become inadequate in meeting the virtualization goals of customers.
Prior to virtualization, only the most demanding workloads required high memory
footprints — large databases, OLTP applications, and enterprise ERP and CRM
solutions. Today, because each virtual machine requires its own memory to ensure
consistent application performance, systems with large memory capabilities become
essential. As a result, new x86-based servers are coming to market that can
massively expand memory capacities.
