“Air travel is statistically the safest transport type. Of course, there are many factors that make for safe airline travel. Arguably, sound aircraft maintenance is the hallmark of safe carriers. Each airliner has thousands of components. While operating, feedback is continuously sent back to the flight and maintenance crews. Standard practice in a well run airline”

How does this relate to virtualization, and virtualization security specifically?

“Well, the aircraft is the platform, our virtualization system. Everyone on-board it is safe, they have had a health check and we know as best we can that they carry no viruses. They have also been through security at the airport so we are firewalled from ‘the bad guys’. The problem is you are expecting me – as well as flying the plane to run all the maintenance. I have to keep the plane running to schedule – when we land, or even while flying, you expect me to take the plane apart and check all the components are in good order AND I have to do this manually! I can do it, if you can give me more people then I can keep the airliner as save as the people in it. What I would really like is an automated tool to do all the checks – non intrusively”

Interestingly we looked up some statistics, the odds of being on an airline flight which results in at least one fatality on the top 25 airlines is 1 in 5.4 million; whereas on an airline flight with the bottom 25 safety record the odds are 1 in 159,119 – 500 times more likely!

There are some more analogies for cloud computing, puns really – we will spare you those today!

“Additionally, ESXi security policies have been augmented with groupings, so that the reporting and remediation advice is easier to classify. Our users benefit from clear categorization and can explain to senior management or some of the infrastructure team that are not skilled in all computing disciplines what the issues are and how to address them. Our consulting partners are particularly keen on this feature because it saves time in the reporting phase” Reeman said.
