Security analysis and economic feasibility for virtualization usage in University datacenters

Abstract

In this paper, authors have analyzed economic and
security aspects of server virtualization. The experimental
analysis includes: the business value of virtualization and impact
of virtual environments on computing and security parameters,
with applying modern cryptographic systems for data protection.
The experiment was designed simultaneously on the traditional
server and virtual environment. The obtained results show the
significant advantages of virtual environment in the form of
optimal allocation and utilization of physical computing resources.
Also, the results indicate a significant improvement of parameters
in the information security, introducing of the virtual network
adapter which presents virtualized communication channels
concept between the application server and database server.
