iXsystems TrueNAS Enterprise Integrated With Futurex Key Management Enterprise Server Series 3 and VirtuCrypt Enterprise Key Management Service

iXsystems, Inc. and Futurex, Inc. announced the integration of TrueNAS Enterprise with Futurex’s Key Management Enterprise Server (KMES) Series 3 and VirtuCrypt Enterprise Key Management Service, to enable full-spectrum key management, giving TrueNAS users additional security, flexibility, and control.

TrueNAS is Open Source storage that enables unified and secure data management and data sharing over a network. TrueNAS systems are integrated with the Futurex KMES Series 3 and VirtuCrypt services, using the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP). Whether used on-premises or in the cloud, users can now create, use, and manage cryptographic keys, self-encrypting drive (SED) passwords, and ZFS encryption keys – all from a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated platform.

“Together with Futurex, we are giving TrueNAS users more cryptographic control of their data. TrueNAS encrypts the data via self-encrypting drives or OpenZFS dataset encryption, each with KMIP options. Futurex securely manages cryptographic keys with on-premises and cloud-based central key management solutions,” said Morgan Littlewood, SVP, product management, iXsystems.

“Futurex eases the burdens of key management with a flexible solution that provides support for symmetric and asymmetric keys, certificate signing, and data encryption and decryption,” said Adam Cason, VP, global and strategic alliances, Futurex. “TrueNAS, combined with Futurex centralized key management, increases data security with less hassle.“
