Securing Virtual Machine Data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an apparatus for performing network function virtualization (NFV) comprising a memory, a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to perform the following: receive an instruction to virtualize a network device within a network, divide, according to the instruction, the network device into a plurality of network functions (NFs) used to form a virtualized network node, launch the NFs within one or more virtual containers, and group the virtual containers together using a group identifier (ID) that

TL;DR: Backup systems and methods are disclosed for a virtual computing environment as discussed by the authors, where the backup management server coordinates with the host server to perform backup copies of entire virtual machine disks from outside the guest operating system of the virtual machine.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the service and performance levels associated with virtual machines in a storage network environment for compliance with a resource capacity policy and identify virtual machines with resource consumptions that violate the resource capacity policies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a backup proxy server that intercepts application programming interface (API) calls, for writing backup data to a first location, prior to the data arriving on the proxy disk.

TL;DR: In this paper, techniques for controlling and managing virtual machines and other such virtual systems are described, which can be employed to benefit all virtual environments, such as virtual machines, virtual appliances, and virtual applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for migrating a virtual machine from a first node to a second node of a plurality of nodes in response to the analysis of application performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a virtualization infrastructure that allows multiple guest partitions (24, 26, 28) to run within a host hardware partition (10), where host hardware resource management runs as a tracking application in a resource management 'ultravisor' partition (14), while host resource management decisions are performed in a higher level command partition (20) based on policies maintained in a separate operations partition (22).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method of virtualizing memory through shadow page tables that cache translations from multiple guest address spaces in a virtual machine including a software version of a hardware tagged translation look-aside buffer.
