HP StorageWorks Secure HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager
The HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager reduces your risk of a costly data breach and reputation damage while improving regulatory compliance with a secure centralized encryption key management solution for HP LTO4 enterprise tape libraries. The Secure Key Manager automates key generation and management based on security policies for multiple libraries. This occurs transparent to ISV backup applications. The Secure Key Manager is a hardened server appliance delivering secure identity-based access; administration and logging with strong auditable security designed to meet the rigorous FIPS 140-2 security standards. Additionally; the Secure Key Manager provides reliable lifetime key archival with automatic multi-site key replication; high availability clustering and failover capabilities.
The HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager provides centralized key management for HP StorageWorks Enterprise Storage Libraries (ESL) E-Series Tape Libraries and HP StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Library (EML) E-Series Tape Libraries. In addition to the clustering capability; the Secure Key Manager provides comprehensive backup and restore functionality for keys; as well as redundant device components and active alerts. The Secure Key Manager supports policy granularity ranging from a key per library partition to a key per tape cartridge while featuring an open extensible architecture for emerging standards and allowing additional client types in the future needing key management services.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- HP Secure Key Manager reduces the complexity of managing encryption keys across a distributed infrastructure with a single point of management. Independent of tape drive count, multiple ESL/EML LTO4 tape libraries are supported per node.
- The key management and data encryption occurs transparent to the backup application. The data can be decrypted on an HP Secure Key Manager library client that has permission to access the key.
- The HP Secure Key Manager features a closed Linux kernel, dual locking bezel with durable pick-resistant locks and tamper-evident enclosure seals to provide substantial platform security beyond a general server.
- The HP Secure Key Manager is appropriate for stringent cryptographic installations and supports AES-256 key generation.
- For improved overall reliability the HP Secure Key Manager has redundant dual fans, power supplies and disk drives (RAID 1 mirroring) along with active alerts and health checks to maximize uptime.
TECHNICAL SPECS
- Enables centralized key management with automated key generation, archival and retrieval. Uses AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys).
- Number of Clients supported – 5 EML/ESL tape library licenses included per node.
- Operating system – Hardened Embedded Linux OS.
- Security Standards – FIPS 140-2 Level 2. (Note: The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. government computer security standard used to accredit cryptographic modules.)
