VMware vSphere vMotion: 5.4 times faster than Hyper-V Live MigrationVMware
Businesses using a virtualized infrastructure have many reasons to move active virtual machines (VMs) from one physical server to another. Whether the migrations are for routine maintenance, balancing performance needs, work distribution (consolidating VMs onto fewer servers during non-peak hours to conserve resources), or another reason, the best virtual infrastructure platform executes the move as quickly as possible and with minimal impact to end users.
We tested two competing features that move active VMs from one server to another, VMware vSphere 5 vMotion and Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V Live Migration. While both perform these moves with no VM downtime, in our testing the VMware solution did so faster, with greater application stability, and with less impact to application performance – clearly showing that not all live migration technologies are the same. VMware also holds an enormous advantage in concurrency: VMware vSphere 5 can move eight VMs at a time while a Microsoft Hyper-V cluster node can take part only as the source or destination in one live migration at a time. In our two test scenarios, the VMware vMotion solution was up to 5.4 times faster than the Microsoft Hyper-V Live Migration solution.
Did you know that 50 percent of desktop virtualization initiatives fail?
Most challenges are due to poor user satisfaction, poor performance and
escalating costs. With such an important initiative, you cannot afford to
take a 50/50 chance for success.
Join the webinar "VDI Best Practices - How to Ensure a Great
Customer Experience When Deploying Client Virtualization" to increase your odds of project success and
ensure user satisfaction from day one. You’ll learn from virtualization
expert Roy Francis of FusionStorm how to successfully deploy desktop
virtualization projects and overcome user problems.
Learn how to better prepare for your desktop virtualization initiative,
and then once deployed how to ensure a great user experience. We will
discuss:
• The pitfalls to avoid when implementing desktop virtualization
• Tips and tricks for overcoming user challenges
• Considerations for migrating to XenApp 6.5 and Windows 2008
• How to address performance and scalability concerns

Citrix unterscheidet wieder zwischen XenApp 7.5 und XenDesktop 7.5. Aber keine Angst, beide Produkte verwenden die gleiche Technologie wie in XenDesktop 7.1, die Flexcast-Management-Architektur. Also keine IMA-Dienste und Zonen-Data-Kollektoren mehr.
Neu wird es auch möglich sein, die Citrix-Lösungen in hybride oder öffentliche Clouds zu integrieren, wie zum Beispiel Amazon Web Services oder Windows Azure. Daneben werden auch andere Produkte wie AppDNA, Mobile Device Management oder die neuste Protokoll-Errungenschaft Framehawk in der kommenden Version je nach Lizenzversion integriert sein.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.
