This document discusses virtualization and VMware vSphere 4.0. It provides an overview of virtualization and how hypervisors partition server resources for multiple virtual machines (VMs). It then discusses how vSphere goes beyond basic partitioning by aggregating infrastructure resources into a virtual "cloud" in the datacenter. Finally, it discusses key features of vSphere 4.0 including vCompute, vStorage, and vNetwork that provide optimization, availability, security and scalability.

Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing for VMware 6Symantec
Symantec’s latest version of Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing for VMware helps organizations improve storage input/output (I/O) performance and availability for VMware vSphere. As customers move their business-critical applications to VMware cloud infrastructure, Dynamic Multi-Pathing for VMware addresses the need for increased I/O performance, better visibility and management of the underlying storage, and improved availability of virtual machines and applications in SAN environments. In the event of a path failure, Dynamic Multi-Pathing for VMware automatically routes data to an available path and then restores the failed paths as they become available – providing efficient storage management and availability across disparate storage hardware.

In a vSphere 5.0 environment, virtual network switches provide connectivity for virtual machines running on VMware® ESXi™ hosts to communicate with each other as well as connectivity to the external physical infrastructure. Network administrators want more visibility into this traffic that is flowing in the virtual infrastructure. This visibility will help them monitor and troubleshoot network issues. VMware vSphere 5.0 introduces two new features in the Distributed Switch that provide the required monitoring and troubleshooting capability to the virtual infrastructure.

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.
