Nutanix and Thales Deliver Effective Centralized Key Management Solution - Solution Brief |
Nutanix Acropolis HCI platform
Nutanix Acropolis software converges compute and storage to provide the cloud-like infrastructure that can run any application at any scale. Unlike other HCI products, Acropolis provides the freedom to choose the right technology for the business, including hardware platforms, virtualization technology and public cloud integration. With in-built data protection, security, and self-healing capabilities, IT teams get a full-stack solution they control, which can be deployed in minutes - without requiring teams of specialists.
The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud enables data security by encrypting user and application data to enable FIPS compliance. Thales KeySecure integrates with Nutanix via the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) to store encryption keys safely away from the data, and provides robust, enterprise-scale key management, ensuring that encryption keys are managed throughout their lifecycle and properly secured with FIPS 140-2 certified hardware or hardened virtual appliance. Centralizing key management makes it easier for administrators to account for encryption keys and generate detailed records for auditors and regulators. The joint solution is a secure and efficient means, then, of protecting data, and helping meet data security compliance mandates such as FIPS 140-2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
