This is session COMS002, titled “Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure with Data Plane Virtualization.” Verplanke believes that DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) and virtualization are key to virtualizing workloads that move around lots and lots of packets, such as firewalls, routers, and other similar functions.

I’ve had a few conversations about network virtualization and software-defined networking (SDN) recently (see here and here ) and the amorphous use of the term “software-defined.” Separating the storage control plane from the storage data plane is a much closer storage analogy to SDN, in my opinion.

However, employees working outside the corporate firewall and other network protections pose some big security challenges, especially for large enterprises. CIOs and CSOs still have to ensure that employees outside of the corporate firewall can do their work securely. IT admins cannot secure assets that they can’t see.

Protecting data and monitoring user behavior used to be relatively simple when everyone was behind the corporate firewall. For example, data within software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications can’t be protected by the corporate virtual private network if users are outside the firewall, so access needs to be governed at the user account level.
