University of Florida's Highly Secure Grid Bolsters Scientific Research

Overview Gauging by the activity at the Advanced Computing and Information Systems Laboratory (ACIS) at the University of Florida, some of the greatest advances in medicine, computer science and manufacturing may soon come from virtual sources. University of Florida recognized a barrier to research progress caused by scientists' lack of trust in the security of collaborative high-performance computing systems. To advance the science of Grid computing, the ACIS decided to concentrate its attention on a technology invented by IBM and associated with the IBM mainframe: IBM VM, or Virtual Machine. VM has been used to create guest images, or virtual servers, to cost-effectively distribute the mainframe's computing power.

Dear silicon.com... Tax man's stamp bill, more lost data, unencrypted laptops…

Yet again data has been copied from a mainframe store onto a portable storage device. The big databases should be kept securely locked up and encrypted on a mainframe computer or proper mass storage. Better yet, an encrypted virtual machine image.
