Cloud Security Guidelines for IBM Power Systems

This IBM® Redbooks® publication is a comprehensive guide that covers cloud security considerations for IBM Power Systems™. The first objectives of this book are to examine how Power Systems can fit into the current and developing cloud computing landscape and to outline the proven Cloud Computing Reference Architecture (CCRA) that IBM employs in building private and hybrid cloud environments.

The book then looks more closely at the underlying technology and hones in on the security aspects for the following subsystems:

IBM Hardware Management Console
IBM PowerVM
