From GOTS SaaS to COTS SaaS

May 5, 2019

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a method of distributing software where a third-party provider hosts applications and makes them available to contracted customers as a service via the internet. These applications are sometimes called web-based software, on-demand software, or hosted software. Regardless of the name, all SaaS applications run on a provider’s server. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) notes that in a SaaS environment, the capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider’s applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface such as a web browser.

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.

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

Virtualization Management with SUSE Manager

whitePaper | November 10, 2019

Virtualization is the means by which IT administrators create virtual resources, such as hardware platforms, storage devices, network resources and more. There are quite a few tools that enable the creation of virtual resources (such as Xen and KVM), but what about the management of those tools? That’s where SUSE Manager comes in. The current iteration of SUSE Manager enables an admin to work with VMs via the following feature set.

Virtualized Velocity in Financial Services

whitePaper | April 20, 2022

The financial services industry is rapidly changing and investment firms, banks and digital payment processors are all looking to differentiate and be a cut above of their competition by offering unique value or services – and that differentiation is often powered by technology. Technology is so critical because of the massive amount of data being generated every day, in addition to the influx of data projected in the future. This is forcing firms to determine how to get more out of their current infrastructure and future-proof their technology portfolio with the right combination of hardware and software.

SD-WAN for Manufacturing

whitePaper | June 20, 2022

As demand for goods peaks, supply chain instability and labor shortage are forcing manufacturers to become more efficient and find new ways to maximize productivity. Manufacturers are accelerating their path to digitalization or Industry 4.0, to improve automation and be more competitive. Additionally, with the digitalization of their operations, manufacturing companies are increasingly moving their applications to the cloud for more agility and to enable their employees to work-from-anywhere. The number of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) devices is skyrocketing, while IT and OT (operational technology) networks are converging, raising concerns about cybersecurity risks.
