The document discusses server virtualization and its benefits. It notes that traditionally, servers have low utilization rates, with 20% running below 0.5% utilization and 75% below 5% utilization. This leads to underutilization of resources, increased costs, and management complexity. Virtualization addresses these issues by allowing multiple virtual servers to run on single physical servers, improving utilization rates and reducing costs, energy usage, and space needs. It discusses the differences between full and para-virtualization, and how virtualization provides hardware independence, isolation, and encapsulation. Common uses of virtualization include server, desktop, and application virtualization.

How Savvy Firms Choose the best Hyperconverged Infrastructure for their BusinessDataCore Software
Hyper-converged storage is the latest buzz phrase in storage. The exact meaning of hyper-converged storage varies depending on the vendor that one consults, with solutions varying widely with respect to their support for multiple hypervisor and workload types and their flexibility in terms of hardware componentry and topology.
Regardless of the definition that vendors ascribe to the term, the truth is that building a business savvy hyper-converged infrastructure still comes down to two key requirements: selecting a combination of infrastructure products and services that best fit workload requirements, and selecting a hyper-converged model that can adapt and scale with changing storage demands without breaking available budgets.

3. I/O virtualization
4. Network virtualization
5. Client virtualization
6. Desktop virtualization
7. Application Virtualization
Virtualization began in the 1960s, as a method of logically dividing the system resources provided by mainframe computers between different applications. Since then, the meaning of the term has broadened. <a>
General discussions
Why cloud?
The terminology: relating virtualization and cloud
Types of Virtualization and Cloud deployment model

Hands-on cloud deployment
Cloud for banks
Virtualization is the creation of a virtual -- rather than actual -- version of something, such as an operating system (OS), a server, a storage device or network resources. Virtualization uses software that simulates hardware functionality to create a virtual system.
Edge computing has been gaining popularity as it defines a model that brings compute and storage closer to where they are consumed by the end-user. By being closer to the end-user a better experience can be provided with a reduction in overall latency, lower bandwidth requirements, lower TCO, more flexible hardware/software model, while also ensuring security and reliability. In this talk, Abhishek discusses aligning Apache CloudStack with this evolving cloud computing model and supporting Edge Zones, which can be also looked upon as lightweight zones, with minimal resources.
Abhishek Kumar is a committer of the Apache CloudStack project and has worked on the notable features such as VM ingestion, CloudStack Kubernetes Service, IPv6 support, etc. He works as a Software Engineer at ShapeBlue.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

An observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965Read more: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mooreslaw.asp#ixzz1da6MK79l
Data collected from more than 300,000 servers running in thousands of companies around the world

The desire to virtualize results from the clear and tangible benefits for company’s of all sizes. It holds the potential to transform business by making them more cost effective, more agile, and more resilient to infrastructure failures.
Server consolidation helps reduce capital outlays for server infrastructure purchases and ensures optimal asset utilization. With fewer servers per workload in the IT environment, company’s also benefit from improved power efficiency.
Unlike physical servers, virtual servers do not require hardware specific device drivers nor is it necessary to interact with hardware to configure RAID levels, BIOS settings, or network setting. This means that new OS instances and applications can be deployed in a fraction of the time required for physical servers.
Because of capabilities like Hyper-V live migration, it is possible to migrate virtual machines among host servers without interrupting the application. This means that server BIOS and firmware updates can occur without taking applications offline, and it is possible to more dynamically match workload demands with the existing supply of compute resources.
Finally, server virtualization has brought about a revolution in high availability and disaster recovery. With server instances captured on the SAN, it is now possible to replicate those images across long distances. If a site outage occurs it is possible to rapidly restart VM’s on infrastructure in a DR site without having to have identical hardware configurations at each location.
x86 CPUs provide a range of protection levels also known as rings in which code can execute. Ring 0 has the highest level privilege and is where the operating system kernel normally runs. Code executing in Ring 0 is said to be running in system space, kernel mode or supervisor mode. All other code such as applications running on the operating system operate in less privileged rings, typically Ring 3.
Full virtualization uses a special kind of software called a hypervisor. The hypervisor interacts directly with the physical server's CPU and disk space. It serves as a platform for the virtual servers' operating systems. The hypervisor keeps each virtual server completely independent and unaware of the other virtual servers running on the physical machine. Each guest server runs on its own OS -- you can even have one guest running on Linux and another on Windows.
The para-virtualization approach is a little different than the full virtualization technique, the guest servers in a para-virtualization system are aware of one another. A para-virtualization hypervisor doesn't need as much processing power to manage the guest operating systems, because each OS is already aware of the demands the other operating systems are placing on the physical server. The entire system works together as a cohesive unit.

Together they make up the Private Cloud.
Microsoft and SUSE have developed joint support capabilities to provide compatibility across their virtual machine platforms by taking advantage of the similarity between Hyper-V and Xen Hypervisor. Hyper-V lets IT administrators see how they might consolidate servers, standardize the Linux platform on SUSE Linux Enterprise server for increased performance, and reduce maintenance time with Microsoft System Center.
Customers and hosting providers can build on-premises, private-cloud, infrastructure-as-a-service that scales across multiple-source operating systems and applications that use existing hardware and software.
In addition to addressing bilateral virtualization, the technical collaboration agreement between Microsoft and SUSE includes collaboration on key systems management standards and directory and identity interoperability, both of which will be critical in helping customers deploy virtual infrastructures that span the Windows and SUSE Linux platforms.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager enables IT staff to manage virtualization products and operating systems and applications from multiple vendors, including Linux and VMware ESX. System Center Operations Manager supports monitoring of systems that are not running on Windows, including Linux.
