  • Cloud Computing: a Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-Level Offerings David Hilley College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology
    Cloud Computing: A Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-level Offerings David Hilley College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology April 2009 Cloud Computing: A Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-level Offerings David Hilley 1 Introduction Cloud computing is a buzzword and umbrella term applied to several nascent trends in the turbulent landscape of information technology. Computing in the “cloud” alludes to ubiquitous and inexhaustible on-demand IT resources accessible through the Internet. Practically every new Internet-based service from Gmail [1] to Amazon Web Services [2] to Microsoft Online Services [3] to even Facebook [4] have been labeled “cloud” offerings, either officially or externally. Although cloud computing has garnered significant interest, factors such as unclear terminology, non-existent product “paper launches”, and opportunistic marketing have led to a significant lack of clarity surrounding discussions of cloud computing technology and products. The need for clarity is well-recognized within the industry [5] and by industry observers [6]. Perhaps more importantly, due to the relative infancy of the industry, currently-available product offerings are not standardized. Neither providers nor potential consumers really know what a “good” cloud computing product offering should look like and what classes of products are appropriate. Consequently, products are not easily comparable. The scope of various product offerings differ and overlap in complicated ways – for example, Ama- zon’s EC2 service [7] and Google’s App Engine [8] partially overlap in scope and applicability. EC2 is more flexible but also lower-level, while App Engine subsumes some functionality in Amazon Web Services suite of offerings [2] external to EC2.

  • System Virtualization Support in Sun Java System Products
    SystemVirtualization Support in Sun Java System Products October 2009 This document is maintained by Sun Java System team. Software Products Covered by this Statement This document summarizes Sun support for Sun Java System products when used in conjunction with system virtualization products and features. It applies to Sun products contained in the following Sun Java System suites: ■ Sun GlassFish Portfolio ■ Sun Java Application Platform Suite ■ Sun Java Identity Management Suite ■ Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite ■ Sun B2B Suite ■ Sun ESB Suite ■ Sun MDM Suite ■ Sun Java Web Infrastructure Suite ■ Sun Java Communications Suite Refer to the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) and Communications Suite product pages for more information on these suites. The Sun Java Availability Suite and Solaris Cluster are not addressed in this support statement. Refer to the Solaris Cluster product information for further details on Solaris Cluster's support for operating system virtualization. Introduction A core capability of system virtualization offerings is the ability to execute multiple operating system (OS) instances on shared hardware. Functionally, an application deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems. System Resource Sizing The combination of being able to deploy multiple OS instances and applications on a single system and the ease by which system resources can be allocated to OS instances increases the likelihood of realizing undersized environments for your applications.

  • 1- BRUNEL: Welcome to Another Episode of Getting the Most
    BRUNEL: Welcome to another episode of Getting the Most Out of IBM U2. I'm Kenny Brunel, and I'm your host for today's episode, and today we're going to talk about IBM U2's latest technology, U2.NET. First of all, what is .NET? So I'm going to turn my attention, first of all, to a guest that I have in the studio with me today in Denver, Dave Peters. Dave is the product manager for the U2 data servers and the client tools, and Dave has been with IBM for over 12 years. What can you tell us about U2.NET? But first of all could you give us a brief rundown or a description of what .NET is itself. PETERS: Sure, Kenny. .NET is really a development framework architected by Microsoft. This is the framework that Microsoft hopes that will be the development choice for any new development on Windows. It consists of user-defined interfaces, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, Web application development and communications. IBM has three options for U2 developers that want to access the U2 data servers using .NET. The first I'll mention is [UniObjects] for .NET or UO.NET. UO.NET is a MultiValue API for use in the .NET applications. It's very familiar within -1- the constructs and was introduced to help Basic programmers get to .NET very easily. And one good thing is it's simple to get. UO .NET is available on the client CD that comes with either UniVerse or UniData. The second option is, the long name is IBM database add-ins for Visual Studio or as we refer to it as IBM .NET.

  • Secure Service Provisioning in a Public Cloud
    Mälardalen University Press Licentiate Theses No. 157 SECURE SERVICE PROVISIONING IN A PUBLIC CLOUD Mudassar Aslam 2012 School of Innovation, Design and Engineering Copyright © Mudassar Aslam, 2012 ISBN 978-91-7485-081-9 ISSN 1651-9256 Printed by Mälardalen University, Västerås, Sweden Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Utvecklingen av molntekniker möjliggör utnyttjande av IT-resurser över Internet, och kan innebära många fördelar för såväl företag som privat- personer. Dock innebär denna nya modell för användandet av resurser att säkerhetsfrågor uppstår, frågor som inte existerat i traditionell resur- shantering på datorer. I avhandlingen fokuserar vi på säkerhetsfrågor som rör en användare av molntjänster (t.ex. en organisation, myndighet etc.), när användaren vill leasa molntjänster i form av Virtuella maskiner (VM) från en publik leverantör av Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Det finns många säkerhetsområden i molnsystem: att hålla data hemliga, att resurserna är korrekta, att servicen är den utlovade, att säkerheten kan kontrolleras, etc. I denna avhandling fokuserar vi på säkerhetsproblem som resulterar i att tillit saknas mellan aktörerna i molnsystem, och som därmed hindrar säkerhetskänsliga användare från att använda molntjänster. Från en behovsanalys ur säkerhetsperspektiv föreslår vi lösningar som möjliggör tillit i publika IaaS-moln. Våra lösningar rör i huvudsak säker livscykelhantering av virtuella maskiner, inklusive mekanismer för säker start och säker migrering av virtuella maskiner. Lösningarna säkerställer att användarens VM alltid är skyddad i molnet genom att den endast tillåts exekveras på pål- itliga (trusted) plattformar. Detta sker genom att använda tekniker för s.k. trusted computing (pålitlig datoranvändning), vilket innebär att användaren på distans kan kontrollera om plattformen är tillförlitlig eller inte.
