Abstract

This work presents a candidate scheme for effective security policy that defines the requirements that will facilitate protection of network resources from internal and external security threats. Also, it ensures data privacy and integrity in a virtualized data center network (VDCN). An integration of Open Flow Software Defined Networking (OFSDN) with VLAN Virtual Server Security (VVSS) architecture is presented to address distinct security issues in virtualized data centers. The OFSDN with VVSS is proposed to create a more secured protection and maintain compliance integrity of servers and applications in the DCN. This proposal though still on the prototype phase, calls for community driven responses.

Highlights

  • Data center networks (DCNs) have attracted a lot of interest in the enterprise networking industry

  • In this paper with detailed study on the security proposals existing in literature, and having considered all the requirements of network security management for a virtualized data center model, we propose an effective secured model: Open Flow Software Defined Networking (OFSDN) with Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) Virtual Server Security (VVSS)

  • Server virtualization has become popular in data centers since it provides an easy mechanism to cleanly partition physical resources, allowing multiple applications to run in isolation on a single server [7]

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Data center networks (DCNs) have attracted a lot of interest in the enterprise networking industry. Any security attack on the data center can destroy the whole organization’s network and data [2]. With fast changing technologies and service demands in DCNs, the need for an effective open platform secure model becomes very imperative. In this paper with detailed study on the security proposals existing in literature, and having considered all the requirements of network security management for a virtualized data center model, we propose an effective secured model: Open Flow Software Defined Networking (OFSDN) with VLAN Virtual Server Security (VVSS). The design is based on layered security architecture for virtual servers and open flow switch architecture.
