GloudSim has an article by Sheng Di and Franck Capello that offers in-depth information about virtual machines. This connects to The Art of Intrusion because it talks about how "1200 jobs can be done simultaneously over 112 virtual machines" (Di & Capello, 2015). This is important because this book talks about how the hackers at the casino were able to figure out the random number generator and use multiple virtual drives. These virtual machines would be similar because you could perform many tasks with multiple virtual machines anywhere you go to keep the instructions of their hacking or just important data without it being on your main computer screen for others to see. This is related to how multiple virtual drives and virtual machines are very similar in being able to hold a lot of data and offer easy accessibility.
