Tenant-driven security system and method in storage cloud

Abstract

The present disclosure provides tenant-driven security in a storage cloud. One method includes determining whether the tenant has placed a physical key into a slot associated with a hard disk provided by the service provider. The method also includes allowing the tenant to access the hard disk after determining that the tenant has placed the physical key in the slot.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to cloud computing, and more specifically, to tenant-driven security in storage clouds. Background technique [0002] Information technology is changing rapidly and is now creating an invisible layer that increasingly touches almost every aspect of business and social life. An emerging computer model called cloud computing addresses the explosive growth of Internet-connected devices and complements the increasing presence of technology in today's world. Cloud computing is a service delivery model for convenient, on-demand networking of shared pools of configurable computing resources (such as networks, network bandwidth, servers, processing, memory, storage, applications, virtual machines, and services) Access, the configurable computing resources can be quickly provisioned and released with minimal management costs or minimal interaction with service providers. [0003] Cloud computing is massively scalable, ...
