Providing Security SLA in Next Generation Data Centers with SPECS: The EMC Case Study

摘要: Next generation Data Centers (ngDC) are the cloud-based architectures devoted to offering infrastructure services in flexible ways: managing an integrated way compute, network and storage services. This solution is very attractive from organisation’s perspective but one of main challenges adoption is perception of loss security control over resources that dynamically acquired cloud reside on remote providers. For a full adoption, datacenter customers need more guarantees about levels provided, creating for tools negotiate monitor requirements. The SPECS project proposes platform offers features with as-a-service approach, furthermore it uses Security Service Level Agreements (Security SLA) as means establishing clear statement between customers providers define mutual agreement. paper presents industrial experience from EMC integrates SPECS Platform their innovative solutions ngDC. In particular, will illustrate how it possible negotiate, enforce SLA infrastructure offering.
