Bluescale Encryption

BlueScale Encryption and Key Management let you encrypt data and back it up in a single step. BlueScale Encryption is integrated in the library, and provides comprehensive key management tools. Optionally, use LTO-4 drive-based encryption and manage keys using BlueScale Key Management. Since key management and encryption are fully integrated into the library’s BlueScale management interface, you can seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy – with no changes to backup policies and no additional hardware or software.

Some of the highlights of BlueScale Encryption include:

•Use of the federally approved AES-256 encryption algorithm - the most secure method of encrypting data, and considered unbreakable by the US Government

•A single point of management for both encryption and data backup,

along with the flexibility to manage it all from any where with a Web-based Remote Library Controller (RLC), secure through the use of SSL

•BlueScale Key Management provides superior key management features for library- and drive-based encryption without requiring third-party software or network resources

•Platform-independent, and compliant with every major backup software application

•Library-based encryption works with all major media types, including LTO,

SDLT, SAIT, WORM-media, and RXT virtual tape library
