Secure Hybrid Cloud Reference Architecture

Secure Hybrid Cloud Reference Architecture featuring all forms of clouds and virtual environments. This stemmed from a training conversation where I was asked, where do you place the firewalls? This architecture answers that and more questions regarding virtualization and cloud security.

Description

While it is quite easy to implement various virtualization security offerings within a virtual environment, once we expand to the entire datacenter, architecture is required. The entire datacenter is not only software-defined but includes virtual, physical, and hybrid cloud instances, all of which need to be secured. When we talk about hybrid clouds, security becomes all about the data and not necessarily about the virtualization layers in which the data may reside. Building upon existing thoughts on hybrid cloud security, this white paper provides a reference architecture into which virtualization and cloud security products can be implemented and managed in a secure fashion.
