Abstract
A method is disclosed for use with a plurality of networked computing devices comprising a plurality of physical ports. The method comprises determining that a non-volatile memory (NVM) device is removably connected with a first port owned by a first virtual machine associated with a first owning entity, and determining whether the NVM device was previously connected with a second port owned by a second virtual machine associated with a second owning entity. The method further comprises determining whether the NVM device has a predefined association with a first instruction file that specifies one or more restrictions for accessing data stored in the NVM device. The method further comprises providing, to the first virtual machine, access to the data stored in the NVM device in accordance with the one or more restrictions.
