Support Cloud Alliance Sun launches cloud security tool today

Sun Microsystems today unveiled innovative, open source cloud computing security tools and announced support for the latest security specification for the Cloud Computing Security Alliance (Cloud). The move is part of Sun's strategy to help customers and partners create an open, interoperable public cloud and private cloud. Sun is committed to providing the best technology and practice to help users escort key data in the enterprise and cloud. The release of Sun's cloud-safe structured modules will provide users with high security, high-availability, and manageable enterprise-class cloud computing services in the public, private and mixed cloud environments. The built-in security capabilities of the Sun's Solaris operating system, including Solaris ZFS and Solaris Containers,sun Cloud computing Security tools, will secure data transfer, storage, and use in the cloud, and ensure interaction with leading cloud service providers, such as Amazon and eucalyptus. While announcing the new cloud computing security tool Today, Sun also announced support for the security specification of the Cloud Computing Security Alliance (Cloud), "The key domain specification for cloud computing-v2.1 unacknowledged Areas of focus in Cloud Computing-version 2.1) ". Sun security experts have been actively engaged in the development of this security specification within the industry, and have been actively involved in the Cloud Computing security Alliance at the beginning of its inception. The new security framework provides a more concise and easier to operate cloud computing security deployment specification and contains the knowledge and experience gained in actual deployment. "Sun's advanced technology, full practice, and close collaboration with industry leaders, including the Cloud Computing Security Alliance, enable us to provide our customers and partners with a comprehensive data security framework for the cloud computing environment," said Tucker, Sun's cloud computing CTO. Sun also released a new white paper, "Using transparent security technology to win customer trust in cloud computing." This white paper provides a comprehensive overview of transparent security technologies and methods for building a secure cloud computing system, including security design, practices, and processes to help customers enhance confidence, protect critical security information and data, and improve overall system management performance. "Security issues remain one of the main considerations for corporate customers turning to cloud computing," said Sun's distinguished engineer and chief Security architect Glenn Brunette, "Sun's new security tools will help address these fundamental issues and enable customers to enjoy the benefits of cloud computing, Manage risk and protect important assets at the same time. "Sun today unveiled a series of open source cloud computing Security (Cloud) tools,Includes: OpenSolaris VPC Gateway: When customers connect systems to Amazon virtual Private Cloud, they offer more choices and flexibility. OpenSolaris VPC Gateway software helps customers quickly and easily create a multiple secure communication channel to a virtual private cloud without the need for proprietary network equipment. Immutable service Containers (ISC): Provides the relevant deployment strategic infrastructure model to jointly develop highly secure services. Incorporating many of the security features of the OpenSolaris operating system, including Solaris ZFS, Solaris containers, and Solaris IP Filter and auditing, the ISC architecture employs a service partition, Enhanced integration technology to create virtual machines with significantly enhanced security and monitoring capabilities. Security Enhanced Virtual Machine Images (vmis): Using many of the technologies developed for the immutable Service container project, Sun has created the Amazon elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is designed with enhanced security vmis. These virtual machines take advantage of the industry's widely accepted and recommended recommended practices, including non-executable stacks, cryptographic swapping, and enabling auditing by default. In addition to simple OpenSolaris images, Sun also publishes integrated software stacks such as Solaris amp and security-enhanced image Drupal. Cloud Safety Box: Simplifies managing encrypted content in the cloud. Using a simple Amazon S3-like interface, Cloud Safety box automatically compresses, encrypts, and splits content, which can be stored in Solaris, OpenSolaris, Linux, and Mac OS X, the contents of the cloud in any supported operating system. Sun is building and deploying open and compatible public and private clouds with global customers and partners. Sun Open Cloud platform is powered by Sun's industry-leading software, hardware, and storage to provide a low-cost, scalable cloud Infrastructure "responsible editor: May TEL: (010) 68476606" Original: Support Cloud Alliance Sun launches cloud security tool today Back to network security home
