METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURE STORAGE SEGMENTATION BASED ON SECURITY CONTEXT IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A computer system identifies a request to place a workload in a hypervisor-based host. The computer system identifies a security level of the workload. The computer system identifies a security level of a storage device associated with the hypervisor-based host. If the security level of the workload corresponds to the security level of the storage device, the computer system grants the request to place the workload in the hypervisor-based host. If the security level of the workload does not correspond to the security level of the storage device, the computer system denies the request to place the workload in the hypervisor-based host.
