Embodiment Construction

[0085] Hereinafter, a detailed description of the drawings will be given. All illustrations in the figures are schematic. First, a block diagram of an embodiment of the inventive method for storing data in a shared networked, ie cloud environment, is given. Afterwards, other embodiments of the method and related storage subsystems will be described.

[0086] figure 1 A block diagram of an embodiment of a method 100 for storing data is shown. There may be no limitation on the kind or type of data to be stored. Data can be stored in a cloud environment on a cloud storage system. Cloud environments, specifically private, public or hybrid cloud environments, may have different levels of confidentiality and may include layers of security between the cloud storage device and the cloud storage access interface. This may be an application programming interface (API) for cloud storage access.

[0087] Method 100 may include physically separating 102 a cloud storage device includi...

Abstract

A method for storing data in a Cloud environment may be provided. The Cloud environment comprises a security layer. The method comprises physically separating the Cloud storage from a key vault system, and receiving a storage request together with a confidentiality rating, wherein the storage request together with data and the confidentiality rating is received via the Cloud storage access interface by the security layer. The method further comprises encrypting the data to be stored and the confidentiality rating on request of the security layer by the key vault system into a data container, categorizing the Cloud storage into Cloud zones, wherein each Cloud zone is assigned a trust level; and storing the data container in one of the Cloud zones of the Cloud storage such that the trust level of the one of the Cloud zones corresponds to the confidentiality rating.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to methods of storing data in a shared networked environment. The invention also relates to storage subsystems, computing systems, data processing programs and computer program products for storing data in a shared networked environment. Background technique [0002] More and more businesses are turning to cloud computing as their preferred method of information technology consumption - not just for software, but for infrastructure components as well as storage of data. However, "clouds" cannot be considered as homogeneous more or less anonymous spheres. Storage capacity is available from different cloud storage providers, under different contract conditions and service levels. Some providers may guarantee data storage within one jurisdiction; others may not give any guarantee. [0003] In today's cloud environment, data can be migrated between different instances, data pools or storage locations, or even enti...
