Meeting the NIST Essential Characteristics Sample Clauses

Meeting the NIST Essential Characteristics. 1 .1) The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines cloud computing in NIST Special Publication 800-145. Cloud computing is defined as “…a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This model for computing is defined by five essential characteristics including: • On-Demand Self-Service • Broad Network AccessResource Pooling • Rapid Elasticity • Measured Service As an example, AWS customers and can immediately begin deployment in the cloud with the equivalent of 1, 10, 100, or 1,000 servers with a customer designated level for performance and memory needed to fit their requirements. eGT was able to seamlessly scale to support 400% growth in usage of services on the FEMA Disaster Management Support Environment (DMSE) Cloud with little or no impact to performance. processes, PCI controls, and other security controls designed to isolate each customer from other customers. AWS systems are designed to prevent customers from accessing physical hosts or instances not assigned to them by filtering through the virtualization software. This architecture has been validated by an independent PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and complies with all requirements of PCI DSS Security Standards 3.2 as of July 2016.
