BlueScale Encryption: Standard Edition vs. Professional Edition
All data encrypted using BlueScale Encryption and Key Management—Standard and
Professional Editions, and LTO-4 drive-based encryption—is secured by the strongest
available encryption method, AES-256. Through BlueScale Encryption and Key Management,
you have additional choices in defining the level of security you can implement in your data
center. Whether to implement BlueScale Standard Edition or Professional Edition is your first
choice.
Feature
Standard Edition
Professional Edition
Keys
- Single encryption key on a library
at a time
- Easier to manage and track
- Multiple simultaneous encryption keys
(maximum is 30 keys)
- More secure, with a key for each of multiple data
sets
Encryption Login
Passwords
- Single encryption password
- Easier to manage and track
- Choice of either one encryption password or three
- More secure, with the option of requiring multiple
users to export and import keys, etc.
Key Export and
Import
- Import and export functions
require a single password
- Easier to manage
- Choice of single password or M-of-N shares with
multiple passwords to export/import keys
- More secure
Compression
a
a. If you are using drive-based encryption, compression is handled through the drive. Further references to compression in this
manual apply to library-based, not drive-based, encryption.
- Not available for QIP-based
encryption
- Available for QIP-based encryption
Compatibility
between
Versions
- Data encrypted using either version can be decrypted by a library running the other
version.
- Data encrypted and compressed by a library using LTO-4 drives, Professional Edition, or
both, can be decrypted and decompressed by a library running Standard Edition.
Summary
- Less secure, but less to manage
- Fewer tapes through compression
- More secure, but more to manage
