Cloud Storage Device Masking
How can data stored on a cloud storage device be isolated to specific consumers?
Problem
Data stored in a shared cloud environment can be vulnerable to unauthorized access by other cloud consumers.
Solution
A solution is implemented to isolate each cloud storage device from being presented to or accessed by unauthorized cloud consumers.
Application
A LUN masking mechanism can enforce defined policies at the physical storage array in order to prevent unauthorized cloud consumers from accessing a specific cloud storage device in a shared cloud environment.
Mechanisms
Cloud Storage Device, Cryptographic Key Management System, Encryption, LUN Masking
Compound Patterns
Burst In, Burst Out to Private Cloud, Burst Out to Public Cloud, Cloud Authentication, Cloud Balancing, Elastic Environment, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Isolated Trust Boundary, Multitenant Environment, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Private Cloud, Public Cloud, Resilient Environment, Resource Workload Management, Secure Burst Out to Private Cloud/Public Cloud, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
LUN masking policies can be enforced by a mechanism at Physical Storage Array A.
