This paper demonstrates how securing a virtual DMZ environment using VMware vCloud Networking and Security can help your organization reduce capital expenditure and increase agility, while building a cloud-ready, secure and scalable environment for business applications. It also highlights the different design approaches to securing business-critical applications and enables you to make suitable choices for your organization regarding the cloud. Further, it provides configuration guidance to help you with your deployment.
VMware customer experience and independent analyst research demonstrate that it is possible to build a fully virtualized, secure, scalable and cost-effective DMZ using vCloud Networking and Security. This paper provides VMware customers with reference architectures and design and deployment guidance, helping them realize benefits and mitigate risks.
The vCloud Networking and Security product suite provides protection beyond the limitations of physical security in several significant ways. Based on customer success with vCloud Networking and Security products over the past three years, including validation by well-known Qualified Security Assessors like PCI-certified Coalfire, VMware recommends a fully collapsed DMZ approach and has identified three new deployment scenarios for DMZ environments in the virtual datacenter. A fully consolidated DMZ leverages all the advantages of compute, network and security virtualization and provides maximum benefits.
