The document announces a seminar on Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 6.4 hosted by IBM and Peanuts. The agenda includes presentations on IBM and Peanuts, new features in TSM 6.3 and 6.4 like deduplication and replication, improved reporting, TSM and virtualization, and a demonstration of the solution.
This document discusses best practices for deploying Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008. It provides an overview of Hyper-V functionality and deployment strategies. It also covers Virtual Machine Manager architecture, requirements, installation, host and cluster configuration, delegation, and Performance and Resource Optimization capabilities.
The document provides an overview of VMware vSphere Replication 5.5. It describes vSphere Replication as a feature of VMware vSphere that continuously replicates running virtual machines to another location for disaster recovery purposes. It replicates only changed blocks in near real-time and ensures application consistency. Administrators can configure replication for individual VMs and retain multiple historical copies for recovery to previous points in time if needed.
The needs for immediate responsiveness of VMs in the virtualized environments have been on the rise. Several services in SKT also require soft realtime support for virtual machines to substitute the physical machines to achieve high utilization and adaptability. However, consolidated multiple OSes and irregular external events might render the hypervisor infringe on a VM's promptitude. As a solution of this problem, we are improving Xen's credit scheduler by introducing the RT_PRIORITY that guarantees a VM's running at any given point in time as long as credits remains to be burn. It would increase the quality of service and make a VM's behavior predictable on the consolidated environment. In addition, we extend our suggestion to the multi-core environment and even a large number of physical machines by using live migrations.
IBM released updates to FlashCopy Manager 3.2 and IBM TSM for Virtual Environments 6.4. The updates include enhancements to backup and restore capabilities for virtual machines, file systems, databases, and custom applications. They provide improved support for VMware environments, SQL Server 2012, Exchange 2010, and remote mirroring capabilities. The user interface was also enhanced with a new configuration wizard and reporting features.
This document discusses the status and progress of Xen RAS (reliability, availability, and serviceability). It provides an overview of Xen RAS and its goals of containing errors within virtual machines. It then details recent work on core error recovery, APEI support, and robustness enhancements. It calls for continued collaboration on supporting I/O errors through PCIe AER integration.
The document summarizes Xen, an open source hypervisor, and its approach to virtualizing I/O. Xen uses a privileged "dom0" domain to control hardware access and export virtualized devices to other unprivileged domains. It implements I/O memory management through software techniques like grant tables and swiotlb, as well as emerging hardware support from AMD and Intel. Overall, Xen provides secure isolation of guest VMs while enabling high-performance shared access to physical hardware resources.
ARM Architecture-based System Virtualization: Xen ARM open source software pr...The Linux Foundation
Xen ARM provides virtualization capabilities for ARM-based systems. It allows multiple guest operating systems to run concurrently on a single system. Xen ARM uses a lightweight hypervisor that provides CPU, memory, and I/O virtualization. Performance tests show that Xen ARM incurs minimal overhead compared to native systems. Xen ARM also enables security and real-time applications by isolating guest operating systems and bounding interrupt latency.
This document discusses VM snapshots, which allow capturing a consistent view of a virtual machine without pausing it. Snapshots are created using copy-on-write frames, where only frames that are dirtied after the snapshot are copied. This provides a lightweight mechanism for various purposes like VM introspection, checkpointing, rollback, and forking VMs. The implementation marks memory read-only and catches write faults to log dirty frames. Additional details are provided on the architecture using a library, FUSE driver, and kernel driver to take snapshots and access snapshot memory. Challenges around write-after-read, catching all writes, and buffer space are also covered.

This document discusses the history and development of the Xen hypervisor project. It provides an overview of how paravirtualization and hardware-assisted virtualization have improved performance. It also examines how virtualization benefits security through policy enforcement and workload isolation. Network and memory management virtualization techniques are described that improve performance for virtual machines.
Kemari is a virtual machine synchronization technique that allows fault tolerance by keeping a primary and secondary VM identical. It uses DomT, a para-virtualized domain, to efficiently synchronize state between VMs by tapping event channels and only transferring updated memory pages. Evaluation shows the secondary VM can continue transparently and with acceptable performance during network, storage and file I/O workloads when the primary hardware fails.
This document summarizes a presentation on the Trusted Virtual Machine Infrastructure (TVMI) project. The project aims to develop a mechanism for uniquely identifying and authenticating virtual machines using virtual Trusted Platform Modules (vTPMs). This would allow virtual machines to be assigned strong cryptographic identities, enhancing security and manageability in environments that require tracking of information flow, such as virtual community networks.
XenServer 6.0 includes enhancements to simplify management, improve performance and scale, and integrate additional high availability and disaster recovery capabilities. Key features include integrated StorageLink for storage management, workload balancing via a virtual appliance, vApps for controlling VM startup order in HA and DR scenarios, and support for Microsoft SCVMM and SCOM. GPU pass-through and IntelliCache are optimized for XenDesktop deployments.

XPDS13: HVM Dom0 - Any unmodified OS as Dom0 - Will Auld, IntelThe Linux Foundation
This document discusses using an unmodified operating system as a domain 0 (dom0) in a hypervisor-virtualized (HVM) environment rather than the traditional para-virtualized (PV) dom0. It outlines the limitations of PV dom0 and how new CPU virtualization technologies enable using HVM dom0 to support any unmodified guest OS, improve performance, and reduce maintenance efforts. The document calls for porting Xen userland tools to Windows and enabling PV drivers to support Windows as an HVM dom0. This would expand Xen's usage models to include new client and trusted execution scenarios.

The event included presentations on topics like Xen roadmaps and releases, memory management techniques in Xen, network performance, security features, and power management. It also provides the agenda for the two day event listing the presentation topics.
This document describes SIOEMU, a self-IO emulation technique that allows non-x86 operating systems like OpenVMS to run on Xen/ia64 virtual machines. It does so by having a firmware within the domain handle all IO emulation instead of relying on Qemu in the control domain. This makes the domains more flexible and improves performance by avoiding domain scheduling for IO operations. The firmware emulates devices like IDE and network interfaces to provide full system emulation. Initial results show it can run Linux and OpenVMS domains, but ongoing work is needed to support SMP, save/restore, and add support for devices like VGA.
Storage Foundation and Veritas Cluster Server can optimize storage management in high availability and disaster recovery environments on AIX through deep analysis of how they can work with PowerVM virtualization technology. Key areas include leveraging features like virtual SCSI, NPIV, virtual Ethernet, dynamic LPAR and more to provide storage management capabilities across physical and virtual environments, live application mobility between systems with non-disruptive migration, and using VCS to manage clusters within PowerVM.
This document provides an overview of using the Xen management API with the Ruby programming language. It discusses how the API standardizes the data model and communication protocol. It then demonstrates how to use a Ruby gem to interface with the API, giving examples of accessing virtual machines, calling methods on them, and using the API to perform operations equivalent to "xm create".

Watch this webinar with Scott Lowe, Founder and Managing Consultant at The 1610 Group, and SolarWinds virtualization expert Jonathan Reeve where they discuss “Hyper-V vs. vSphere: Understanding the differences.”
The virtualization market is abuzz with talk of different hypervisors – most prominently VMware ESX® versus Microsoft Hyper-V®, who together own over 90% of the market. Small and medium businesses are already moving quickly toward Hyper-V, and a growing number of larger organizations are beginning to put plans in place to transition some portion of their environment from ESX to Hyper-V.
In this webcast we explore the reasons for these changes and the ecosystems for these two platforms both now and in the future. We also take a look ahead to what is known about Hyper-V 3.0 and why it warrants an even deeper look when evaluating hypervisors for your future virtualization deployments.
Dealing with Hardware Heterogeneity Using EmbeddedXEN, a Virtualization Frame...The Linux Foundation
EmbeddedXEN is a particularly efficient virtualization framework tailored to ARM-based core embedded systems.
While security and OS isolation are key features of conventional virtualizuation frameworks, the main concerns for EmbeddedXEN are device heterogeneity and realtime aspects, which are particularly important in the embedded world.
EmbeddedXEN mainly relies on the original XEN architecture but with major differences in the way guest OS are handled: the hypervisor has been simplified, and only two guest OS (dom0 and domU) can run simultaneously; while dom0 is used to manage the native OS with drivers (original and backend splitted drivers), a paravirtualized OS (domU) can be cross-compiled on a different ARM device, and user applications can run seamlessly on the (virtualized) host device. Another important difference is that no user space tools are required to manage the VMs; the framework produces a compact single binary image containing both dom0 and domU guests, which can be easily deployed. The Xenbus architecture has been adapted to that context.
EmbeddedXEN therefore allows the porting of an OS and its applications from an ARM embedded device to last generation ARM hardware, such as HTC Smartphone for example.

The arrays use custom FPGA technology and a layered data protection approach including chip-level ECC, variable stripe RAID, and 2D flash RAID to optimize performance while maintaining reliability. Models are available with SLC or eMLC flash and range in capacity from 1TB to over 1PB within a single rack. IBM FlashSystem can accelerate performance of Oracle, SAP, virtual servers and other applications by up to 12x over conventional storage.
This document discusses how Azure Active Directory (AAD) provides identity management across Office 365 services like Exchange, SharePoint, Yammer, and others. It explains that AAD is the central identity store and manages group membership. When changes are made to a group in AAD, the other Office 365 services are notified and can extend the group with their own data and functionality, like conversations in Exchange or documents in SharePoint. Even if notifications are missed, reliability is ensured through synchronization between AAD and the other service-specific data stores. This provides a loosely coupled yet reliable model for shared identity and group management across Office 365.

Using VMware Infrastructure for Backup and Restorewebhostingguy
This document discusses best practices for backing up virtual machines running on VMware ESX Server. There are three main approaches: 1) treating virtual machines like physical machines and backing them up from within the guest OS, 2) backing up the virtual machine disk files on the ESX Server host, and 3) using VMware Consolidated Backup which offloads backups to a separate backup proxy server. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages depending on backup software compatibility and restoration granularity needs.

This document provides an overview and summary of key concepts around virtualization that will be covered in more depth at a technical deep dive session, including:
- Virtualization capabilities for desktops/laptops and servers including workstation virtualization and server consolidation.
- How virtual machines work and the overhead associated with virtualization.
- Properties of virtualization like partitioning, isolation, and encapsulation.
- Benefits of server virtualization like consolidation, simpler management, and automated resource pooling.
- Comparison of "hosted" and vSphere virtualization architectures.
- Technologies used in virtualization like binary translation, hardware assistance from Intel VT/AMD-V.
- Ability to virtualize CPU intensive applications with
VMware vSphere 4.0 introduced several new features and enhancements to improve infrastructure services, application services, and virtual machine scalability. Key updates included support for larger virtual machines with more CPUs and memory, distributed virtual switches, storage APIs for data protection, fault tolerance improvements, and security features like VMsafe and vShield zones.
CSA Presentation 26th May Virtualization securityv2vivekbhat
Bryan Nairn discusses security considerations for virtualization. Virtual machines are increasingly common but over 40% will be less secure than physical servers by 2014. Key risks include compromised host machines which could then control VMs, and unpatched guest operating systems. Defenses include hardening host servers, protecting virtual machine files, isolating guest networks, and using access control lists to manage permissions for VMs. Securing the virtualization platform requires attention to both host and guest security.
The document announces a seminar hosted by IBM and Peanuts on Tivoli Storage Manager 6.4. The agenda includes introductions, presentations on TSM 6.3 and 6.4 features like deduplication and replication over LAN/WAN, new TSM reporting, TSM and virtualization, and a demonstration.
The IBM XIV Gen3 Storage System provides several key integrations with VMware vSphere that improve performance and management:
1) It supports VAAI primitives like full copy offload and hardware-assisted locking that improve scalability and reduce host processing.
2) It integrates with vSphere APIs like VASA to provide real-time storage information and alerts to vCenter.
3) It includes a plug-in for vCenter that allows storage provisioning, mapping, replication and snapshot management from within vCenter.
Bryan Nairn discusses security considerations for virtualization. He notes that over 40% of virtual machines will be less secure than physical machines by 2014. The document outlines common virtualization security myths and describes the hypervisor architecture. It discusses isolation between virtual machines and the hypervisor's security goals of protecting data confidentiality and integrity. The document also covers common attack vectors and provides potential solutions for securing the host system and virtual machines.
This document summarizes a new product called vPower that provides faster and more efficient backups compared to traditional solutions. vPower uses direct-SAN-access with Changed Block Tracking to backup virtual machines, compressing and deduplicating backups within 3 minutes. It also enables features like storage migration and verification of backups. The document contrasts vPower's simpler, more automated approach to backing up virtual environments versus the expensive agents and multiple complex steps required by traditional backup solutions.
VMware ESXi 3.5 update 2 is a next generation, thin hypervisor that is available for free. It partitions servers to create robust virtual machine environments with improved security, reliability and simplified management compared to previous versions. The free version provides many of the features of VMware Infrastructure 3, including support for virtual appliances and virtual machines. It has received positive feedback from customers for its plug-and-play installation and configuration capabilities.
Digitalization and improvements with robot technology (RPA)Solv AS
RPA is one of the digital transformation technologies that help businesses robotize repetitive routine tasks. Just like cognitive automation, chatbots and artificial intelligence, RPA enables a higher efficiency in human actions. By programming software robots, or “bots,” to replicate administrative processes that are normally performed by human workers, you can think of it as having a virtual “employee” that can perform a repetitive activity significantly faster and more cost-effectively than humans.

Endringsledelse - drevet av innovasjon og IT av Christian Rangen Solv AS
Foredraget til Christian Rangen fra Engage//Innovate på seminaret Brilliant collaboration 5.desember 2013
Vi står i dag midt oppi en global digitaliseringsbølge – digitalisering av ‘’alt’’. Spotify, Netflix, Facebook, Google er noen eksempler på dette. Felles er at disse er ‘’digitale disruptører’’. Den samme trenden, digital innovasjon, treffer nå flere og flere arbeidsplasser. E-post, som ble oppfunnet i 1961, utfordres nå av nye måter å arbeide på. Vi ser en kraftig trend mot åpen, digital og virale arbeidsmåter. Dette er moro for mange - men utfordrende for enda flere. Den sosiale, digitale arbeidsplass utfordrer ‘’måten vi jobber på’’ og møter behovet for endringsledelse. Det krever trening, kulturendring og ledere som går foran som gode eksempler. Det krever det Charlene Li kaller ‘’åpen lederskap’’ – men allikevel blir det så vanskelig for de fleste – hvorfor det?

Fueling AI with Great Data with Airbyte WebinarZilliz
This talk will focus on how to collect data from a variety of sources, leveraging this data for RAG and other GenAI use cases, and finally charting your course to productionalization.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
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).
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.
