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.

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.

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

Satellite networks offer their customers several advantages over other types of connectivity. They are easily deployed, reliable, and allow a wide degree of mobility, making them a perfect fit for Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP). They are an essential asset in places where other connectivity methods are not available, such as oil rigs, vessels, or even planes. However, they have several characteristics that make them harder to manage when compared to other kinds of networks. This document will discuss those challenges and explore how the Versa Operating System (VOS™) can help you extract better performance out of your Satellite links.
