Adaptivity's Design Studio: Open Data Center Edition* helps you develop cloud-based applications. The Studio allows you to select an appropriate target application and answer a set of questions regarding performance, resource management, and virtualization management strategies. The Studio then calculates the optimal and cost effective solution and generates blueprint sheets, which provide the information to aid in the deployment of the target application in a cloud-ready infrastructure.

At its core, desktop virtualization is a way of reconciling two—often competing—goals: IT’s desire to exert more control over the client platform to simplify management and rein in costs, and the user’s desire for more flexibility and greater choice in endpoints and applications. The Desktop Virtualization Planning Guide outlines four steps that IT departments can follow to plan a desktop virtualization implementation in their organization.

In order to address cloud security challenges and provide assurance to users that their cloud environment has not been tampered with, an automated, highly scalable mechanism based on a root of trust is required. In addition, you should have a set of mechanisms for reliably accessing this trusted root environment and then using it to validate the integrity of the higher layers of the stack.
