Virtualization and Security

As I am planning to lead my MIS445 class into virtualization and cloud computing in the coming weeks, I am pulling together a list of the fundamental technologies that have come together to enable cloud computing:

• High-Speed Internet
• Public Key Cryptography
• Commodity multi-core CPUs
• Storage-Area Networks
• High-Performance Virtual Machine Hypervisors
• Virtual LANs
• Virtual Private Networks

Is there anything that you would add to the list?
