Towards middleware security framework for next generation data centers connectivity

Data Center as a Service (DCaaS) facilitates to clients as an alternate outsourced physical data center, the expectations of business community to fully automate these data centers to run smoothly. Geographically Distributed Data Centers and their connectivity has major role in next generation data centers. In order to deploy the reliable connections between Distributed Data Centers, the SDN based security and logical firewalls are attractive and enviable. We present the middleware security framework for software defined data centers interconnectivity, the proposed security framework will be based on some learning processes, which will reduce the complexity and manage very large number of secure connections in real-world data centers. In this paper we will focus on two main objectives; (1) proposing simple and yet scalable techniques for security and analysis, (2) Implementing and evaluating these techniques on real-world data centers.
