Abstract
In this paper we have proposed virtualization as an engine to drive cloud based security. Cloud computing is an approach for the delivery of services while virtualization is one possible service that could be delivered. Virtualization enables better security and enables a single user to access multiple physical devices. Large corporations with little downtime tolerance and airtight security requirements may find that virtualization fits them best. Thin clients and software as a service will free users from being tied to their computers, and allow them to access their information anywhere they can find an internet connection. Virtualization is a computing technology that enables a single user to access multiple physical devices. It is a single computer controlling multiple machines, or one operating system utilizing multiple computers to analyze a database. Virtualization may also be used for running multiple applications on each server rather than just one. It enables us to consolidate our servers and do more with less hardware. With growing pressure to move in this direction, we’re suggesting Virtualization for cloud based security.
