“SAN DIEGO – A paper presented at the recent HotCloud ’09 Conference proposed a method that will help overcome some of the most significant issues that some organizations have towards cloud computing: Control over network resources and security that is required in order to reduce the risk of computing over a cloud. The paper, entitled “The Case for Enterprise-Ready Virtual Private Clouds”, is a collaborative effort between the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and AT&T Research Labs.
The issues raised in the paper were addressed in slightly different ways by other researchers (see Private Virtualization Infrastructure and Trusted Cloud Computing for other approaches). Although all three papers describe similar concerns, each takes a somewhat different approach at attacking the issues.”
