Brocade and Thales have announced the integration of Thales Encryption Manager for Storage (TEMS) with Brocade encryption switching solutions to meet growing compliance demands.
The hybrid solution will simplify the storage encryption process by eliminating the need for storage professionals to deploy multiple storage encryption systems and help ensure reliable data access, said the two companies in a press statement.
The Brocade Encryption Switch is integrated with TEMS, a ready-to-use appliance that consolidates and automates the management of encryption keys for storage systems in a transparent manner.
TEMS supports the draft IEEE P1619.3 key management specification. Subsequent releases will also support the recently announced OASIS KMIP key management standard, originally co-authored by Thales.
The Brocade Encryption Switch recently received both FIPS 140-2 level 3 certification, a standard defined by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, and Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 3+.
Thales Encryption Manager for Storage will also undergo evaluation for FIPS 140-2 level 3 certification
The Brocade Encryption Switch and Brocade FS8-18 Encryption Blade are part of a family of fabric-based encryption platforms that helps organizations meet their security and corporate governance objectives by encrypting corporate data with high performance and centralized fabric management. The Brocade Encryption Switch provides encryption for both disk and tape storage systems.
