Netformx Include CloudLink Storage Encryption in Proposals

Netformx, Inc. announced CloudLink SecureVSA software-defined storage encryption solution in the Netformx KnowledgeBase.

CloudLink is a provider of data security and encryption management products. Netformx DesignXpert is built on the Netformx KnowledgeBase, a multi-vendor content library.

Using DesignXpert, CloudLink SecureVSA offerings can included in EMC VSPEX designs. SecureVSA provides a software encryption layer between virtualized applications and physical storage. By decoupling data encryption from physical storage, sensitive data can be secured without the IT cost and complexity of changing underlying infrastructures or modifying applications. SecureVSA is delivered as a virtual storage appliance which can be deployed on a per-application and per-tenant basis. CloudLink is certified by world-recognized leaders in cloud technologies like AWS, EMC, Microsoft, RSA, VCE, and VMware.

DesignXpert automates the collaborative, end-to-end design process to produce a validated architecture and winning proposal. Users can work directly with their customers to design the solution. This eliminates costly and time-consuming ‘back and forth’ interactions and allows the customer to be an active participant in the design process.
