The interoperable solution addresses enterprise data leakage and exfiltration vulnerabilities and helps organizations meet confidentiality and regulatory compliance mandates by locking down their crown-jewels managed in SAN and NAS.

Celerity 16Gb FC HBA

The rise in the accessibility of digital data has swept across the business landscape and has created today’s pervasive, data-driven business operations. It has become a race for enterprises to simultaneously satisfy the desire for instant secure access to business intelligence, process the massive amounts of data generated, automate processes and minimize risks, whilst gaining maximum returns.

Organizations and enterprises alike are pushed to innovate and adapt, while preserving data privacy and trust.

At the same time, a paradigm shift has occurred in the way data is managed. Increasingly, businesses are consolidating their services from decentralized server silos, to virtual datacenters and hyperconverged infrastructures in order to gain economical and scale advantages. This complicates the issue of data protection and security as mission-critical data are consolidated and stored on high-speed, low-latency, scale-out network storage systems. Protection of data by upholding infrastructure openness, platform neutrality, deployment transparency, time-to-market, has become a critical operational concern.

StoreSafe helps to safeguard data with industry-standard cryptography to protect against outbound data and exfiltration threats. It is a turnkey, data-at-rest encryption security solution. It is designed to secure physical or virtual datacenter and cloud infrastructures, offering protection in either on-premises or off-premises deployments. This ensures that data encryption security is preserved as operational needs evolve. StoreSafe is a data encryption solution that secures virtually all types of enterprise data, whether structured or unstructured, and supports heterogeneous storage environments. It is deployed as a ‘drop-in’ software appliance proxy, requires zero operational changes and does not impact user workflows.

FastFrame 10GbE NICs

Ease of deployment and integration is another key concern for organizations. This joint solution with Atto unlocks access to the combination of StoreSafe encryption security software with Atto’s speed storage network connectivity products. Combining Celerity 16Gb FC HBAs and FastFrame 10GbE NICs, customers can leverage the StoreSafe unified storage encryption solution to achieve uncompromised privacy and protection of their business-sensitive information. Whether that data is stored on a SAN or NAS over industry standard network storage protocols including FCP, iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, HTTP, REST, etc, with the both companies solution, it can be deployed easily and securely.

“We understand how challenging the market is today for organizations and enterprises. We want to make sure that customers have access to the highest levels of security by making it easier for them to build security solutions around products from vendors they trust and are familiar with,” said Sean Xiang, CEO, Bloombase. “Partnering with Atto allows for interoperability and through this, customers gain a powerful plug-in solution from two of the vendors.“

“Data security is critical in today’s rapidly expanding array-to-cloud environment,” said Tim Klein, founder and CEO, Atto. “By pairing our FC HBAs and Ethernet network interface cards with Bloombase’s industry leading security software. IT professionals can meet their stringent QoS demands across today’s virtual datacenter-to-hyperconverged infrastructures.“

Atto offers businesses of all sizes an unparalleled range of storage infrastructure and connectivity solutions. FC HBAs are engineered with the latest technology to deliver performance. With distinctive latency-management features such as Advanced Data Streaming (ADS) built-in, Celerity HBAs provide faster and more efficient data transfers for the most demanding storage applications. FastFrame is a portfolio of Ethernet products designed to provide high-performance connectivity while minimizing utilization of both power and CPU cycles.
