CloudSwitch Architecture Overview
This paper illustrates how CloudSwitch software bridges the enterprise data center with cloud computing environments, extending enterprise security and control into the cloud. Using CloudSwitch, existing applications run securely in a cloud environment while remaining tightly integrated with data center tools and processes, and managed as if they were running locally. The result is a single unified environment where external resources can be provisioned quickly and applications running in the cloud can utilize common resources in the data center.

Making Cloud Computing Secure for the Enterprise
Security Architecture Overview
Many companies are eager to take advantage of cloud computing, but concerns about possible security breaches and loss of data hold them back. Trust—or lack of it—is one of the primary reasons for the hesitancy of enterprises to put their data and applications in a multi-tenant public cloud. Security issues associated with third-party cloud environments continue to prevent organizations from benefiting from the cost savings and flexibility that the cloud can offer.
This paper explores how CloudSwitch overcomes barriers to cloud security by enabling enterprises to run selected applications and data in the cloud with the same protection and control available internally. Using CloudSwitch, data in the cloud can now run under full enterprise control, making the cloud a much safer environment for a wide range of applications.
Enterprise Cloud Computing Becomes a Reality
The CloudSwitch Technology Vision
This paper introduces the CloudSwitch vision for cloud computing. It describes current challenges to data center operations and cloud computing, and introduces a more cost-effective and agile model for cloud computing powered by CloudSwitch. It provides an overview of CloudSwitch's technology and how it eliminates barriers that until now have limited the adoption of cloud computing by enterprises. The result is a single integrated environment that allows applications to be deployed where they truly belong — keeping the data center dedicated to critical applications while lower priority applications can be offloaded to the most appropriate clouds.
