April 2010-
Cloud Computing and Virtual Datacenters present unique challenges when it comes to securing sensitive data. The benefits of these new architectures are clear, including: the ability to share resources through server consolidation, quickly scale up (and down) capacity based on changing needs, and to flexibly update servers without impacting production.
Less hardware can lower costs, and even mean a greener datacenter. However, the combination of dynamic system resources, complex network topology, and lack ...
