Flexible, scalable storage solutions for the on demand world
Storage hardware, software, and services are as important to a dynamic enterprise as servers and networks. Because of the explosion of information in most data centers, storage can be more challenging to tame than server resources, but potentially more beneficial. IBM has a history of innovation in developing proven and tested technologies for the future.
IBM addresses key technologies to help you manage and expand your business.
IBM is the only vendor to provide drive-level encryption for all of your storage, whether disk or tape, with little or no impact on performance, complexity, cost, or manageability. Encrypting information at the drive is simple and complete, giving IT and Security Managers one less thing to worry about.
IBM takes the worry out of encryption key management with a single, comprehensive key management facility for disk, tape, and software applications. No more worries about losing encryption keys and losing access to encrypted data.
Disk and tape
IBM System Self-Encrypting Storage is an innovative, self-encrypting storage solution that secures all information on disk drives and tape cartridges when they're physically removed from the system. Clients no longer have to worry about the sensitive data on tape cartridges when they're archived and disk drives that are returned for repair, retired, or repurposed. Data is automatically protected against unauthorized access.
Tivoli
IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager manages encryption keys for self-encrypting disk and tape solutions, helping simplify deployment, lower administration costs, and maintain data availability. Unified key management helps IT organizations more effectively manage the lifecycle of encryption keys by enabling them to centralize and strengthen key management processes.
