Requirements for Hybrid Cloud


Enterprise Data Center

(Private Cloud)

Service Provider

Public Cloud

•

Transparency
: Transparently migrate any application to public cloud

-

No change to application’s IP address


•

Consistency
: Ensure consistent operation (network policies, firewall policies, …)
across Enterprise DC and public clouds


•

Security
: Maintain complete isolation in public cloud (across multiple enterprises)
