How to virtualize your workspace during a time of disruption

whitePaper | October 4, 2021

Virtualization as a concept is not new; computational environment virtualization has been around since the first mainframe systems. But recently, the term “virtualization” has become ubiquitous, representing any type of process obfuscation where a process is somehow removed from its physical operating environment. Because of this ambiguity, virtualization can almost be applied to any and all parts of an IT infrastructure. For example, mobile device emulators are a form of virtualization because the hardware platform normally required to run the mobile operating system has been emulated, removing the OS binding from the hardware it was written for. But this is just one example of one type of virtualization; there are many defi nitions of the term “virtualization” fl oating around in the current lexicon, and all (or at least most) of them are correct, which can be quite confusing.

Virtualization technology is gaining acceptance in the automotive industry. It makes the development process of software systems more efficient, reduces development and BOM costs, and shortens time-to-market. Especially in the cockpit, manufacturers and their direct suppliers have now been using hypervisor-based systems for several years. This first step towards a new conception of solutions is now experiencing another paradigm shift: the use of open standards. It further enhances the advantages of virtualization. The fully virtualized guest operating systems can be flexibly deployed and reused across all hardware. Only then can the full potential of virtualization technology be fully exploited

With the recent surge in remote work, IT has been tasked with enabling thousands of remote users with secure access to applications and data. Rather than a few users accessing the corporate networks via VPN, entire organizations now work outside the office. This has flipped the entire security posture of countless organizations.

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.

Active Directory was introduced by Microsoft with the release of the Windows 2000 Server Operating System (O/S). DeltaV systems work in conjunction with specific Active Directory features to provide a more secure and manageable production environment. Windows domains provide centralized user accounts and groups, and combined with Windows forests you also get administration, redundancy, and scalability as part of the computers network environment. This whitepaper provides details about the Independent DeltaV Domain Controller (IDDC) functionality introduced in DeltaV version 14.LTS. This whitepaper assumes that you understand the concept of Windows domains and forests.

With the increasing adoption of Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI®) as a pervasive fabric technology, enterprises and service providers commonly need to interconnect separate Cisco ACI fabrics. Business requirements (business continuance, disaster avoidance, etc.) lead to the deployment of separate data center fabrics, and these need to be interconnected with each other. Depending on the deployment option used (and as explained in this document), these fabrics may be called pods or fabrics and sites.
