A practical approach to validating Virtualized Networks enabled through SDN and NFV

The technology landscape has evolved radically in the last few years and virtualization has been a godsend to organizations that are looking to drive down their capital and operational expenses while being able to respond to market needs much faster. Interestingly though, while Computing and Storage have progressed leaps and bounds by tapping into the potential of Virtualization, it is only now that Networking seems to be catching on in a major way. Owing to the massive growth in user traffic due to ubiquitous ‘digital transformation’ occurring across various industries, global communications service providers are buckling up to improve customer experience by addressing this demand for data with large scale investments in network scalability.

Data Sovereignty and the VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative

whitePaper | June 16, 2022

An overarching aspiration of digital sovereignty represents the need to ensure a national (or regional), sovereign end-to-end digital capability and control. Such an aspiration is not only concerned with the sovereign protection of data, but going beyond such data sovereignty concerns and ensuring access to sovereign digital tools to develop applications.

The definitive guide to secure remote access

whitePaper | December 22, 2021

Enterprises are migrating their private applications to public clouds, and users are consuming more applications, connecting to them from everywhere and from any device. This has created a proliferation of perimeters around users, devices, and applications. Although many organizations have already taken steps to embrace digitalization and enable a zero-trust network, their connectivity is still operating on incumbent network-centric approaches. Teams struggle to retrofit network-centric VPN technology to meet the needs of the modern user and the transforming business, but retrofitted approaches can prevent digitalization. It’s time to redefine secure remote access.

SD-WAN vs SASE

whitePaper | August 15, 2022

Security is a fundamental requirement for all enterprise-level technologies. The pandemic has created a “new normal” dominated by long-distance remote working. This has served to increase reliance on multiple cloud platforms, making connectivity more important than ever. This, however, has also led to an increase in the number of threats and attacks. For this reason, businesses are strongly advised to transform their WANs and security architectures

Intel Page Modification Logging, a hardware virtualization feature: study and improvement for virtual machine working set estimation

whitePaper | January 7, 2020

Intel Page Modification Logging (PML) is a novel hardware feature for tracking virtual machine (VM) accessed memory pages. This task is essential in today’s data centers since it allows, among others, checkpointing, live migration and working set size (WSS) estimation. Relying on the Xen hypervisor, this paper studies PML from three angles: power consumption, efficiency, and performance impact on user applications. Our findings are as follows. First, PML does not incur any power consumption overhead. Second, PML reduces by up to 10.18% both VM live migration and checkpointing time. Third, PML slightly reduces by up to 0.95% the performance degradation on applications incurred by live migration and checkpointing.
