Posts Tagged ‘virtualization’The benefits of Virtualizing Applications [Infographic]Thursday, January 26th, 2012EMC.com has released an interesting infographic about the benefits of virtualizing applications. Our clients’ interest to SaaS development services proves that the opportunities of virtualization exceed the impact of threats. The same conclusion can be made after reviewing the infographic, that was created based on the data of the survey by IDG Research Services, conducted among over 500 senior IT decision-makers at enterprise companies in June, 2011.

Here are five things to watch for in the coming year:
1. Smart phone data slinging. More users will be accessing large amounts of data on the devices of their choice, says Randy Barr, CSO at Qualys Inc. and member of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). “This comes with a lot of unaddressed security issues,” Barr says. “We can expect new solutions to address mobile devices, but could see a large data breach to expose the issue of mobile security before we see a solution.” Among the possible scenarios, Barr says, are insecure cloud-based backup and highly confidential data on mobile devices.”There are some interesting inter-dependencies when using multiple cloud services on mobile devices, with possibly different security models and assumptions,” he says. A hacked cloud provider could provide mass access to confidential mobile device data when mobile users are using cloud-based mobile device support, he says. In addition, loss or theft of mobile device could provide root-level access to cloud services and data. Mobile apps are often providing direct and automated access to cloud services and data, he says. If an admin-level person’s mobile device is stolen, this could be a major threat to highly confidential data or even cloud services administered by such a person from an insecure mobile device.

Dell Unveils 10-Inch Windows 7 TabletMonday, February 14th, 2011Dell expanded its foray into tablets with a new 10-inch Windows 7-based device designed, the company said, for users “who need greater mobility, as well as IT organizations that demand control, security, manageability, and integration with existing infrastructure investments.”
The Windows 7 Business Tablet, which will run on an Intel processor, could be available by the middle of the year (note that the tablet in the above photo is a nonworking mock-up of the machine). The tablet was among 39 new products unveiled at the company’s Dell Means Business event in San Francisco this morning. They include laptops, desktops, workstations, and a convertible tablet, the Latitude XT3 (a follow-up to the laptop/tablet hybrid XT2). But the news out of the event likely to grab the most attention is the Win tablet, even though details on specs remain scant and we don’t yet have a price or a release date beyond sometime later this year.

VMware’s Private Cloud Computing VisionFriday, October 29th, 2010The Pitch VMware wants people to be able to access enterprise applications with the same ease and flexibility they enjoy from Facebook and Gmail. That is, on any device, without a thought about where the service originated.
This is possible with a private cloud computing infrastructure, argues Rick Jackson, VMware’s chief marketing officer. It’s “an app store on steroids, integrated with your existing security and authentication services,” he says. Cloud computing takes virtualization-VMware’s specialty-one step further by liberating applications from a specific client device or data center. Apps can be delivered where needed, and served from the place with the lowest overhead. Bookmark/Search this post with:
The Cloud: A Threat to Incumbents, Opportunity for StartupsMonday, October 25th, 2010
Such a potential shift to new applications poses a threat to vendors of legacy software, said experts speaking during a panel at TechNW on Monday. Companies like Oracle, SAP and CA are certifying their software to run on cloud services like Amazon’s, said Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon Web Services. “That doesn’t give you immediately all the benefits like scale and elasticity,” he said. “For that, new apps have to be developed.” That shift opens doors for new companies to develop services that take full advantage of the cloud but also threatens existing vendors. Vogels said that telecom service offers a good example. For instance, “no one buys their own PBX anymore,” he said. Instead, companies are using cloud-based voice services from providers like Twilio, which uses Amazon. Bookmark/Search this post with:
