Physical Security
In a cloud environment, the compute, storage, and network security is only as
effective as the physical environment used to house the infrastructure. The
VMware Cloud
services run on physical
infrastructure built and maintained by IaaS cloud service providers such as, Amazon Web
Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and SoftLayer.This infrastructure uses data centers with the following physical security controls:
- Physical perimeter controls such as fencing, wall, security staff, video surveillance, intrusion detection system.
- Electronic controls such as two-factor authentications to access data center floors.
