DECRU Data Encryption

Data security has become a major focus for companies large and small. Key drivers for security investments include regulatory compliance, intellectual property protection, homeland security, customer privacy, and internal controls.

Quantum has partnered with Decru, a NetApp company and leader in storage security, to collaborate on key management and encryption technology to further enhance Quantum’s security offerings.

By combining Decru DataFort appliances and Quantum tape libraries with native management and security features, customers gain a scalable, high-performance storage infrastructure to help them address compliance requirements and ensure data privacy. The Decru storage security platform provides security that can be extended uniformly across heterogeneous environments, including multiple vendors, new and legacy devices, and enterprise-wide storage platforms such as, SAN, Fibre Channel Tape, and SCSI Tape.

The Decru platform combines wire-speed encryption, access controls, authentication, and automated key management to deliver unprecedented data security, and can be deployed transparently with no disruption to servers, applications, or user workflow.

Quantum tape libraries solutions are compatible with the following Decru appliances:

 Decru DataFort FC525 - a 1U storage security appliance that secures data in SAN environments through encryption, host authentication, and secure logging.
 Decru DataFort FC520 - a 2U, 2 ports storage security appliance that secures data in SAN environments through encryption, host authentication, and secure logging.
 Decru DataFort FC1020 - a 2U, 10 ports, storage security appliance that secures data in SAN environments through encryption, host authentication and secure logging.
 Decru DataFort™ S110 - a 2U storage security appliance that enables complete security for data stored on SCSI-based tape systems, providing hardware-based compression, strong data encryption, and crypto-signed logging.
 Lifetime Key Management™ (LKM) - a software system that securely automates archiving of encryption keys, so data is always available, regardless of where or how long it is stored.

In partnering with Decru, who has emerged as the leading storage security platform in the industry, Quantum makes it easy for our customers to integrate security into their backup, recovery and archive processes.
