APPLICATION-SPECIFIC DATA IN-FLIGHT SERVICES

摘要

Embodiments provide data in-flight services (DIFS) to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a software application is associated with a DIFS policy indicating one or more DIFS services to apply to the software application. Data transmitted by the software application to a destination is tagged based on the DIFS policy associated with the software application and transmitted to the destination.
