The cloud has so far mostly been used to consolidate existing operating systems and manage them more conveniently. The interface between guest kernels, applications and VMs are all managed very differently, leading to serious inefficiencies, unreliability and insecurity.

Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and OpenFlow are quickly emerging as powerful trends in the networking industry. By separating the control and data planes, these technologies are accelerating the innovation cycle and creating opportunities for new application research and development.

Modern data centers can consist of hundreds of thousands of servers and millions of virtualized end hosts.

Recommender systems personalize the browsing and consumption experience to each user's taste in environments with many product choices.

The sharing and distribution of multimedia content over the Internet has taken a momentous turn, keeping pace with the increasing market for wireless handhelds. Recent predictions (Cisco VNI) indicate that mobile video traffic will comprise more than 70% of all mobile data traffic by 2016.

The Worldwide Intelligence Network Environment (WINE) is a platform, developed at Symantec Research Labs (SRL), for conducting data intensive experiments in cyber security.
