X-IO Technologies Adds Data-at-Rest Encryption

X-IO Technologies is addressing industry concerns over data security and compliance by adding data-at-rest (DaR) encryption to its iglu blaze enterprise storage and Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) systems at no additional charge.

The company is providing encryption-at-rest using AES 256-bit keys to encrypt all data while minimising impact on performance and capacity. The addition of DaR encryption will address data whether it’s stored on all-flash, hybrid or hard disk configurations. X-IO’s encryption is also designed to increase security for multi-tenant applications.

“Usually, data encryption solutions impact storage system performance leading to selective use with greater administrative concerns. X-IO’s transparent encryption approach minimises the impact on system performance and simplifies decisions for IT,” said Randy Kerns, senior strategist and analyst at Evaluator Group. “This means that X-IO can offer encryption while still maintaining its reputation for high performance and reliability.”

X-IO offers iglu and ISE storage solutions in all-flash, hybrid and hard disk configurations and integrates with a variety of operating systems and hypervisors including Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere.

“The addition of encryption for the iglu and ISE storage portfolios is in response to growing customer concerns around security,” said Bill Miller, X-IO Technologies chairman and CEO. “While other storage vendors in the market charge customers for these important features, at X-IO we have decided to add them for no additional cost.”
