Data Center Security Topologies

Tags:
security management

Overview The Intranet data center has traditionally been an area where security deployments have been thinly implemented. Based on client surveys, growing security threats, and the increasing need to protect proprietary information; it is necessary to provide security to protect the data center from internally initiated attacks, whether malicious in nature or not. The security options discussed in this paper include packet filtering and intrusion detection for network devices, servers, and applications. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview and understanding of the security options available for the intranet server farm and provide topologies that and recommendations for each of these options.
