46 Virtualization 2.0 helps by enhancing the software-defined network with policy-based security and compliance tech- nologies, thus allowing workloads to be configured and monitored according to precise rules. These control mea- sures remain in place regardless of where workloads are deployed in a private or hybrid cloud. Security and compliance can be addressed in three stages of maturity with Virtualization 2.0 solutions: Stage 1: Network security tied to workloads Security and compliance policies need to be automated across the network. Every virtualized data center needs to address this baseline functionality. ✓ Required capabilities: Layer 2 to layer 7 network virtu- alization and security. Security and network services follow workloads. Ability to introduce network services on the host (VM) level. Hardware-independent network and security services. Automated network infrastructure. ✓ Business outcomes: Faster deployment of network and security resources. Increased hardware efficiency through multi-tenancy. Next-generation network secu- rity. Increased VM security. Stage 2: Advanced 3rd party security services integrated into network platform As a virtualized network matures, additional refinements help address compliance and monitoring across the virtual infrastructure.
