For a list of supported controllers, see HP Smart Array RAID Controllers on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/smartarray).

HP Smart Array Controller

HP Secure Encryption is supported on HP Smart Array PX3X and PX4X controllers, and HP Smart HBAs operating in RAID mode.

For more information about controllers supporting HP Secure Encryption, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/smartarray).

For more information about HP Smart Array controllers, see the appropriate Smart Array controller user guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/smartstorage/docs).

HP SmartCache

HP SmartCache can be used in conjunction with HP Secure Encryption. HP SmartCache enables solid state drives to be used as caching devices for hard drive media. Data can be accessed from the solid state drive instead of hard drives. Data stored on the HP SmartCache drive utilizes the same encryption methods and keys as the originating volume where the data is permanently stored, extending protection to the HP SmartCache drives.

HP SmartCache provides the following features:

•Accelerates application performance

•Provides lower latency for transactions in applications

•Supports all operating systems, without the need for changes

HP SmartCache requires an HP SmartCache license. For more information, or to obtain a license, see the SmartCache website (http://www.hp.com/go/smartcache).

HP iLO

HP iLO Management is a set of embedded management features that support the complete life cycle of the server, from initial deployment, to ongoing management, to service alerting and remote support.

The HP iLO subsystem is a standard component of HP ProLiant servers that simplifies initial server setup, server health monitoring, power and thermal optimization, remote server administration, and key exchanges between the HP ESKM and the HP Smart Array Controller. The HP iLO subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes HP iLO independent of the host server and its operating system. This system provides client credentials, registration to the key
