availability and responsiveness for
all applications and services.
• Create resource pools, so that you
can deliver the highest levels of
application SLAs with the lowest
total cost per application.
• Be assured you can maintain
security, control and compliance
over your applications and data in
the cloud.
Security for the Cloud
Just as virtualization is indispensable
for transitioning legacy applications
to new cloud infrastructures, it is
also a critical security enabler in
a cloud environment.
VMware vSphere works in
conjunction with the VMware vShield
family of products—the foundation
for the next generation of cloud
security—to address the challenges
related to securing applications and
data in the cloud. Together these
solutions provide assurance that
your applications and data can be
properly segmented into trust zones
for compliance and that these can be
maintained to meet requirements to
keep data in specific jurisdictions.
Specifically, the VMware vSphere
platform has unique introspection
capabilities that help to identify
hard-to-detect problems and
enable comprehensive security
controls. These capabilities result
in better performance, reduced
complexity and more comprehensive
security protection.
With VMware security solutions,
you can:
• Dramatically simplify security and
be assured security policies can be
rapidly implemented and monitored
for IT compliance while maintaining
the relevant levels of control and
visibility into ownership domains.
• Make security agile, so IT can
leverage dynamic capabilities such
as live migration, while being
assured that the security policies
follow the IT service seamlessly.
Secure
VMware vSphere and the
VMware vShield family of
products work together to
secure applications and data
in the cloud.
