2.1 Module Overview
Oracle’s StorageTek T10000D Tape Drive (Hardware Part #: 7042136/7314405;
Firmware Version: RB411111) blends the highest capacity, performance,
reliability, and data security to support demanding, 24/7 data center operations.
The T10000D delivers fast write speeds (252 MB
2
/sec

) to a native 8.5 TB of
magnetic tape storage; making it ideal for data center operations with growing
data volume. The T10000D provides data protection with built-in AES
4
hardware
encryption and multiple FIPS 140-2 Approved modes of operation. Customers
can be assured that their data will always be secure, in any of these FIPS 140-2
Approved modes. The T10000D encrypting tape drive (ETD) operates with data
encryption services:
permanently enabled
temporarily enabled
temporarily disabled
Each encryption mode provides FIPS 140-2 Approved security services and
functionality to ETD operators. For added flexibility, a mixed mode of operation
supporting both FIPS 140-2 Approved and non-FIPS 140-2 Approved operations
is also available. This mode of operation provides a non FIPS-140-2 Approved
method for encrypting the tape cartridge contents for customers who do not
require FIPS 140 protected content.
The StorageTek T10000D Tape Drive is featured in Figure 1 below.
