In New Delhi: RSA, the security division of EMC, will team up with Intel Corporation and VMware to build a transparent infrastructure for business-critical cloud services. The partnership intends to chart a way for technologies to combine and boost security in the cloud networks.
The proof of concept will be used by service providers to help customers build private clouds within firewalls, or build cloud-like services (hosted by a third-party data-center provider and dedicated to a single customer). It will combine authentication technology inside Intel processors with VMware technology that will collect data from physical and virtual infrastructure and then feed it to RSAs security platform, which, in turn, will identify potential threats.
The information will then be handed to governance, risk and compliance software that have been created by Archer Technologiesa company recently acquired by the EMC. These controls will help companies enforce differentiated policies in private clouds such as formulate physical hardware types that may help run virtual machines.
The proof of concept is also aimed at showcasing streamlined compliance by providing automated processes for collecting, analysing and reporting infrastructure-level activities and events, the companies said. Third-party vendors are expected to start offering services based on the proof of concept within six months.
