Gemalto partners with NetApp to deliver integrated cloud storage and data security solution for Amazon Web Services customers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amazon Web Services partner network members collaborate on complete storage,
encryption and key management solution for AWS Cloud environments
Amsterdam - November 17, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, announced it will partner with NetApp to offer an
integrated storage, encryption and key management solution for Amazon Web
Services (AWS) customers. The solution brings together SafeNet Virtual KeySecure
and NetApp Cloud ONTAP as a unified offer on AWS Marketplace and enables
organizations to seamlessly store and encrypt their data and applications in
virtual environments while maintaining business agility and complete ownership
of their encryption keys.
Organizations moving to cloud-based services are seeking storage network
encryption that protects data used in their applications without affecting user
productivity. Many existing encryption services can integrate with cloud
services but fall short by failing to provide customers with complete control
over the keys that govern access to stored data.
SafeNet Virtual KeySecure for NetApp Cloud ONTAP addresses this scenario by
offering efficient, centralized key management for virtualized environments by
enforcing customizable security policies for data access. It combines NetApp's
modern storage infrastructure with Gemalto's industry-leading SafeNet key
management, protecting customers' data and encryption keys against unauthorized
access, while simultaneously making the most efficient use of their storage
investments.
"NetApp's storage expertise is a perfect fit with Gemalto's proven key
management technology," said Todd Moore, Vice President of Data Encryption
Product Management at Gemalto. "AWS users can now turn to NetApp to manage,
store and protect their data can do so even more confidently than ever before,
while maintaining 100 percent ownership of their encryption keys."
"The NetApp Data Fabric enables enterprises the freedom to use cloud services to
enable their business," said Tim Russell, Vice President of Product Management
for NetApp. "The combination of NetApp Cloud ONTAP and Gemalto SafeNet Virtual
KeySecure extends data management services in the AWS Cloud to help secure
access to sensitive data for our joint customers."
NetApp Cloud ONTAP provides a flexible data storage solution that fits a wide
range of customer storage requirements, from small-capacity, low-performance
applications to medium-scale applications with higher performance needs.
Combined with SafeNet Virtual KeySecure, users can automate IT processes
associated with risk mitigation, while improving business agility and enabling
faster application deployment. Customers can easily integrate with their
existing applications and realize greater ROI by reducing overall IT costs and
only paying for the cloud resources they use.
The solution is immediately available for purchase, both on an hourly and annual
subscription basis. A free 30-day trial is also available.
NetApp Cloud ONTAP gives customers enterprise-class features for their raw cloud
storage, including Instantaneous Snapshot(TM) copies, zero footprint clones with
FlexClone® volumes, and storage efficiency with data deduplication, thin
provisioning, and compression. NAS storage features include block storage, as
well as Network File System (NFS) and Clustered File system (CFS) support for
customer applications. NetApp provides 24/7 support for every instance of Cloud
ONTAP.
SafeNet Virtual KeySecure is a hardened virtual appliance that eliminates
threats to sensitive data while requiring no additional rackspace or upfront
payment. It features a hardened OS and complete virtual appliance encryption
that delivers enhanced key security and protection against snapshot attacks. It
can manage up to 25,000 keys and 100 concurrent clients per cluster, and works
with supported hardware security modules (HSMs) to provide a hardware-based
root-of-trust for the appliance master key. The product supports numerous key
types, as well as the OASIS KMIP standard to promote interoperability and
centralization of key management over time. High availability also supports
cloud-scale deployments.
