Securing IBM's XIV and A9000/ A9000R Storage - Solution Brief

In the era of Big Data, organizations collect more data points than ever before. Often, organizations will store these data points because of regulatory concerns or because they hope to mine them in a way that is useful to business operations. To complicate the matter, as data breaches become more common, customers and regulators demand that this data stay secure at all times. Organizations build large-scale, complex storage deployments (in many cases, a combination of on-premises, virtualized, and remote data centers) to meet their needs, but the complexity can make adequate security difficult. Who should access the data? How do you protect against security breaches? How do you manage the encryption and decryption of data on an ongoing basis? SafeNet and IBM offer a solution to address these challenges.
