Ready by VCE
to run on Vblock’ Systems.

CloudLink Secure VSA, storage
and data encryption solution, empowers enterprises to:

  • Provide AES-256 level encryption for sensitive data in both public and private
    clouds without compromising performance.
  • Enable a secure, optimized and managed at rest and in motion solution from an
    enterprise data center to the cloud computing infrastructure in a multi-tenant
    cloud security environment.
  • Have a single enterprise control security solution that requires no
    infrastructure changes (VMs, workloads or hardware platform).
  • Protects enterprises from the risks and complexity of cloud computing.
  • Provide a high performance, flexible encryption solution for Vblock Systems storage environments.
  • Ensure data security compliance (HIPPA, SOX, PCI) in virtualized and cloud
    environments.

"Many
enterprises are utilizing pre-integrated Vblock Systems to simplify and speed
the process of building their data center and private cloud infrastructures,
"
said Misha Nossik, CTO at AFORE Solutions. "CloudLink provides Vblock Systems customers the assurance that their
sensitive data from mission-critical applications requiring the highest level
of security, compliance and control is fully protected.
"

The certification was conducted by Superna, which has been authorized by VCE to
provide Vblock System certifications to VCE Technology Alliance Partner (TAP)
program members. This certification enables mutual channel partners and
enterprise customers to enhance and accelerate adoption of Vblock Systems by
leveraging CloudLink’s encryption solution to ensure regulatory compliance
(HIPPA, PCI, SOX), and protection of sensitive data. Vblock Systems from VCE
combine industry technologies from Cisco, EMC and VMware to deliver a
pre-configured, rapidly deployable, converged infrastructure for cloud
computing.

CloudLink Secure VSA features AES-256
storage volume encryption of data at rest, an AES-256-encrypted VPN tunnel for
data in motion, encrypted storage via NFSv3, Server Message Block (SMB) 2 and
iSCSI, and a management tool suite accessible via browser or VMware vCenter.

CloudLink
Secure VSA supports automated deployment of Secure SVSA using vCloud’ Director
API. Operating at the virtualization layer, CloudLink Secure VSA offers
flexible, multi-tenant storage encryption across Vblock Systems storage
technologies (including iSCSI,FC, FCoE, NAS and DAS) transparent to any
application and over varying cloud infrastructures.
