CipherMax provides the first practical, manageable and affordable line of solutions for securing sensitive data throughout heterogeneous, distributed and multi-tiered storage environments. Innovative solutions that take advantage of high port counts and an intelligent architecture scale to support enterprise storage networks without compromising the breadth of protection, system manageability or encryption strength. A global management system was designed to support single pane of glass administration of all security and storage functions, including security policy definition and key management.

The innovative CipherMax architecture overcomes many of the deficiencies of first-generation encryption devices, including:

• Insufficient port counts to scale effectively
• One-to-one port connectivity
• High management overhead creating a high TCO
• Lengthy deployment with manual SAN configuration reentry
• Inability to support integrated security services like LTO-4

With its ability to support legacy storage infrastructure, LTO-4 encrypting drives and disk-based backup like VTL, the CipherMax architecture provides an optimal point of management for integrated storage security functions. Users can deploy CipherMax systems as a transparent SAN controller located in front of the storage targets they are securing or as an auto-discovery edge device connected to their existing SAN fabric.

The CipherMax family of high performance, enterprise-class storage security systems for tape and disk was developed in response to customer requirements for data-at-rest security solutions that:

• Support scaling from tactical deployments up to hundreds of    encrypting ports
• Install easily and quickly into operational storage environments, with    centralized administration
• Securely manage up to hundreds of thousands of encryption keys    with secure, automated backup for assured data recovery
• Provide a future-proof migration path to integrated storage security    services

CipherMax CM180D
CipherMax disk security solutions dynamically allocate encryption processing power across multiple ports that support any-to-any connectivity options, providing load-balanced performance and the highest level of scalability available from a storage security system. More details
