Managing operational risk by protecting valuable digital assets has become increasingly critical in today's enterprise IT environments.
In addition to achieving compliance with regulatory mandates and meeting industry standards for data confidentiality, IT organizations
must also protect against potential litigation and liability following a reported breach.
The HP Encryption SAN Switch scales non-disruptively, providing 48 Gbit/sec of encryption processing power to meet the needs of the
most demanding environments with flexible, on-demand performance. It also is tightly integrated with HP Secure Key Manager and HP
Enterprise Secure Key Manager which provide centralized enterprise-class key management systems across distributed environments.
The HP Secure Key Manager and HP Enterprise Secure Key Manager enable simple yet secure key sharing between multiple sites for a
variety of uses. The capabilities of the HP Secure Key Manager and the HP Enterprise Secure Key Manager and their integration with the
Encryption SAN Switch enable secure and automated key sharing between multiple sites ensuring transparent access to encrypted
data.
The storage fabric enables centralized management to support nearly every aspect of the data center, from server environments and
workstations to edge computing and backup environments. As a result, it is an ideal place to standardize and consolidate a holistic
data-at-rest security strategy. Organizations can also implement this type of best-practice methodology in other parts of the data
center, helping to protect data throughout the enterprise.
The Encryption SAN Switch is based on industry standards for data-at-rest encryption to provide centralized, scalable encryption
services that seamlessly integrate into existing B-Series Fabric OS® (FOS) environments.
The B-Series fabric-based approach to data encryption scales to meet performance requirements and provides a centralized point of
management for storage security and key management. Deployment of the Encryption SAN switch is non-disruptive: Organizations can
encrypt data from any switch port without reconfiguring the fabric.
