Abstract

Data-at-rest (DAR) encryption, embedded in peripheral controller hardware, combines the security, reliability, and performance benefits of storage device encryption, but it doesn’t impact the enterprise services necessary for low-cost operation and worker productivity. This kind of encryption is highly adaptable to the needs of new-use models that cache data in high-speed flash memory or that stream data over network-attached storage, while utilizing the established enterprise management infrastructure.
