As virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) has become more prevalent, point solutions have emerged to address associated delivery issues. These solutions burden IT infrastructure, but with little benefit. Organizations need a solution that can offer added security, network performance improvements, and vendor-specific optimizations, all while improving architecture for non-VDI systems.

Choosing the CPU for enterprise applications is not an easy task, whether you use a simple quick calculation to determine your needs or perform exhaustive capacity planning with analytical model simulations for workloads and their future growth. Often, lack of details (or inaccurate information) about the input data and the workload type leads to uncertain estimations about the rightsizing of the hardware (CPU type, core count and clock speed, memory capacity, etc.), leading to suboptimal resource utilization.

Cloud environments change fundamental assumptions in how to perform threat detection and response. The highly dynamic inventory of cloud workloads means systems come and go in seconds. When system configuration errors are introduced during a build, they can be exacerbated and amplified when automation replicates the errors across many workloads. Shared responsibility with the cloud service provider (CSP) creates potential threat detection gaps in the attack lifecycle.

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.

Mobile network operators (MNOs) are now considering ways to take advantage of the benefits that Virtualized RAN (vRAN) can deliver. vRAN gives MNOs greater network availability and better deployment flexibility using pooled, centralized resources that are operating on standardized commercially available hardware. The virtualized functions that provide the network’s baseband processing in vRANs also lower CAPEX and OPEX by reducing cell site real-estate space and the power needs of the equipment that no longer resides on-site.
