Data security is one of the issues that most concern companies when deciding about public or private cloud.
Usually, organizations tend to be more skeptical with public cloud, but there are a number of tests that can be run to identify and fix possible security holes in this type of clouds.
In order to perform these tests, first you will have select a fragment of the cloud environment that you want to test and then, you will be ready to define the strategy to be followed.
-Hypervisor Software. The software that is installed on the server infrastructure and that is responsible for assigning memory, processing, network and disk resources to the virtual machines hosted on the platform.
-Virtual image machine or golden image. Virtual machine with the necessary OS and applications installed in order to perform a subsequent deployment of the virtual desktops based on this image.
To implement a desktop virtualization platform some minimum components at hardware level are necessary. The essential requirements are a server infrastructure, a network architecture, storage and client devices:
-Server Infrastructure. It consists of the necessary servers with enough processing and physical memory capacity for hosting the hypervisor layer, which will assign the necessary hardware resources to the virtual desktops.
-Network electronics. This will allow for interconnection between the different platform
components. Network architecture for a VDI platform can be very complex, so it’s crucial that these components are of the highest quality.
In our post today we explain how to deploy and create KVM virtual machines under Red Hat based distros, such as RHEL, CentOS7 and Fedora 21.
First of all, you should make sure that the system has the necessary hardware virtualization extensions or that such extensions are enabled in the BIOS and that the KVM modules are loaded in the kernel.
Then, you should install packages qemu-kvm and qemu-img. These packages provide the disk image manager and the KVM user level.
The UDS Enterprise team joins the World Backup Day recommending the use of VDI to improve backup policies.
Implementing desktop virtualization technology, the backup of the virtual desktops becomes an easier and effective task, since administrators can enable the backup of the base templates used to deploy the desktops centrally from the data center.
