Cover Your (Tape) Assets

摘要

With two major vendors — IBM and sun — announcing tape encryption technologies (infoworld.com/4533), Sept. 13 should have been a turning point in datacenter security. Well, it wasn't. If those two tape devices, the IBM TS1120 and the Sun StorageTek T10000, are compatible with your datacenter and your budget, you now have the ability to encrypt data before sending a reel outside of the company. However, don't feel too relaxed — you are not much more secure than you were before.
