Encryption License Key benefits
To guarantee the security of data, use the Encryption License Key feature to encrypt the data stored on or VSP F series storage systems. Encrypting data can prevent information loss and leaks, for example, when a drive is physically removed from the storage system due to failure or theft.
The Encryption License Key feature provides the following benefits:
- Hardware-based AES 256 encryption in XTS mode for open and mainframe systems
- Encryption can be applied to some or all internal drives.
- Encryption does not impact I/O throughput or latency.
- Encryption requires little to no disruption of existing applications and infrastructure.
- Simplified and integrated key management that does note require specialized key management infrastructure
