Dependable data security without the cost or complexity
Data security is an increasingly pressing issue for organizations. Not a week goes by without a high-profile breach or loss of data. The advent of tougher data privacy regulations like GDPR has pushed data encryption and security to the forefront of the IT architect’s mind.
Both StorMagic SvHCI and SvSAN include data encryption that is FIPS 140-2 compliant and eliminates the need for complex, expensive specialist hardware, and OS or hypervisor-level solutions.
Reliable
FIPS 140-2 compliant data encryption algorithm encrypts data before it is written to disk, meeting HIPAA, PCI DSS and SOX requirements
Simple
Use any KMIP-compliant key management server, any x86 server config, brand and storage type, and encrypt all data or just selected volumes
Lower Cost
Software-only solution eliminates the need for expensive specialist hardware like self-encrypting drives, nor for OS or hypervisor-level encryption

How does SvSAN’s data encryption feature work?
Available as an additional feature on top of the base SvHCI or SvSAN license, StorMagic’s data encryption feature is the most cost-effective encryption solution for on-site applications and data. The 100% software approach eliminates the need for operating system or hypervisor-level encryption and does not require any special hardware, such as self-encrypting drives (SEDs). It is a simple and inexpensive way to protect sensitive data at the edge, where servers aren’t typically located in secure datacenters.
Any data handled by StorMagic’s data encryption feature is encrypted before it is written to disk, using a FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption algorithm (XTS-AES-256). The solution meets HIPAA, PCI DSS & SOX requirements and uses CPU AES-NI encryption instructions that provide hardware acceleration.
Flexibility is underlined through compatibility with any KMIP-compliant key management server (KMS), such as StorMagic SvKMS, and the user has the option to encrypt all data, or just selected volumes as well as secure erasure and rekey. Additionally, all data is encrypted on the drives and in-flight between storage caching tiers and high availability clustered servers.
Another big benefit is that data destruction (disk scrubbing or degaussing) is not required on failed drives before discarding.
