Benefits

  • Prevents data breaches
  • Protects brand and reputation
  • Uses existing systems and processes
  • Delivers FIPS-validated security
 

Integrate encryption into your existing tape systems without making expensive changes to your backup processes or architecture.

Lost backup tapes are one of the most embarrassing and common forms of data breach. Thales CryptoStor Tape is an appliance that protects tape backups without requiring changes to systems, processes, or backup windows.

Because the data is protected by proven, certified encryption and automated key management, lost tapes do not damage your reputation or bottom line. And unlike some appliances, Thales CryptoStor Tape does not disrupt or slow your current backup processes.

 

 

High-performance background encryption
Real-time encryption maintains your existing backup window and schedule.

Integrated key management
Automatic key generation, backup, and recovery ensure access to encrypted data.

Multi-interface support
Integrates with both Fibre Channel and LVD SCSI tape interfaces.

Role-based administration
Web-based administration enforces administrative privileges by role.

Proven, certified security
Certified FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.

Fast recovery
System maintains media catalog for quick recovery.
