Encryption License Key benefits

To guarantee the security of data, use the Encryption License Key feature to encrypt the data stored on VSP G series 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
