Data Encryption Solution That Maintains Hard Disk Bootability
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Wed, April 30th, 2008
By CMS Products
BounceBack Professional soon will support the ability to uniquely identify hardware encrypted disk drives (FDE) connected externally to a system via USB. If an FDE drive is identified, BounceBack Professional will allow the user to set an ATA password on the external FDE drive that is consistent with the encoding and locking method supported within the ATA drive locking feature of the system’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
By providing ATA password support that can be recognized by the system BIOS, BounceBack Professional maintains its ability to provide bare metal recovery from a system drive failure while keeping the drive’s encryption characteristics and security access in place. This BIOS-compatible ATA password feature is expected to greatly enhance the adoption of hardware encrypted disk drives for use in external applications.
“Data encryption provided within the electronics of a disk drive is the wave of the future,” said Gary Streuter, Vice President of Marketing for CMS Products. “It is seamless to the user and provides the confidence that important data will not be compromised in the event that a computer or external disk drive is lost or stolen.”
Streuter continued, “Our goal at CMS Products has been to provide an integration path supporting the introduction of these hardware encrypted disk drives, both internally and externally, while maintaining CMS’s unique advantage in creating and maintaining a spare system drive for use in the event of catastrophic system disk failure.”
Expected to be available in May 2008, CMS Products will be demonstrating this exciting data security feature at the upcoming Interop 2008 trade show.
