Cloud computing is enabled by the use of virtualisation technology. It estimated that only 20% of the world’s existing server infrastructure is currently virtualised, and in the next decade this proportion is expected to rise dramatically. The Cloud thus allows for computing to be provided as a service, dramatically reducing the cost for organisations, and allowing them to partake in the use of extensive computing, and storage resources, at a significantly reduced cost. In addition, these new technologies ensure a greener use of computing resources, as they efficiently utilise capacity that would have otherwise been wasted, as well as ensuring ubiquitous access and service provision for communities.However, one of the main barriers to adoption of these new technologies is that of the uncertainty surrounding the security of new virtualisation technologies. The key objective of this applied research project was to accelerate the implementation of existing, cutting-edge, security software in the core layers of the cloud stack.The project has allowed inquisitive systems to accelerate their deployment of their flagship product, guardINQ, to various virtualised platforms. In doing so they have managed to verify the technical feasibility of doing so, through integration, deployment and performance measurement, as well as commercially verify the application of this approach through initial pilots, hosted in virtual environments, with important channel partners. Finally, each member of the consortia recognises the value of a continue relationship in order to further explore and exploit the technical and commercial opportunities.

云计算是通过虚拟化技术实现的。据估计，目前全球现有服务器基础设施中只有 20% 是虚拟化的，而在未来十年，这一比例预计将大幅上升。因此，云允许将计算作为服务提供，从而大大降低组织的成本，并允许他们以显着降低的成本参与使用广泛的计算和存储资源。此外，这些新技术确保了计算资源的更环保使用，因为它们有效地利用了本来会被浪费的容量，并确保为社区提供无处不在的访问和服务。然而，采用这些新技术的主要障碍之一是新虚拟化技术安全性的不确定性。该应用研究项目的主要目标是加速现有的尖端安全软件在云堆栈核心层的实施。该项目允许好奇的系统加速其旗舰产品guardINQ到各种虚拟化平台的部署。在此过程中，他们成功地通过集成、部署和性能测量来验证这样做的技术可行性，并通过与重要渠道合作伙伴在虚拟环境中托管的初始试点来商业验证这种方法的应用。最后，联盟的每个成员都认识到持续关系的价值，以便进一步探索和利用技术和商业机会。
