Tape Encryption

Lower the cost of encrypting the data on your tape cartridges

Protecting your data, controlling access to it, and verifying its authenticity is critical in today’s security conscious world. Encryption is your last line of defence against malicious access to you data – if hackers manage to find a way to your encrypted data, then at least it will be meaningless to them.

Data on your tape cartridges is possibly your least secure, hence it is critical that your organisation is encrypting data residing on tape. But encrypting does have its drawbacks, in that it takes time and increases the size of the data being backed up. Joule Tech carries solutions that enable you to efficiently overcome the problems of encrypting your data as you move it to tape for onsite or offsite storage.

In addition to the security, the solutions we carry provide the following benefits:

Save space, and ultimately storage and hardware costs, by compressing your data before it is encrypted
Effective key management with IBM Security Key Life Cycle Manager (SKLM)
Data does not have to be degaussed or overwritten with x’FF patterns at the end of the life or sale of the tape or cartridge
