Systems, methods and computer readable media for software defined storage security protection

Abstract

A system is provided with a software controller; a storage platform capable of storing stored blocks of data and having a central processing unit; a controller monitoring and isolation tool embedded in the software controller; and a storage monitoring and isolation tool embedded in the storage platform that is capable of locking down a memory partition on the storage platform. The system also includes a memory for storing computer instructions and a host computer coupled with the memory, wherein the host computer, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs certain operations. The operations include extracting orchestration configurations through the controller monitoring and isolation tool and relaying the orchestration configurations to the storage monitoring and isolation tool. The operations include correlating using the controller monitoring and isolation tool and the storage monitoring and isolation tool actual locations for incoming data for a customer, and monitoring performance of the storage platform with the storage monitoring and isolation tool. The operations also include tying the stored blocks of data to a physical memory on which the stored blocks of data reside; and providing a passcode to the customer though the controller monitoring and isolation tool that has to be presented to the controller monitoring and isolation tool and the storage monitoring and isolation tool to store data.
