As reported last year by SearchStorage.com, EMC has added disk encryption to its PowerPath multipathing software. The new feature, based on encryption intellectual property bought with RSA, will allow automatic encryption of data at rest on Symmetrix and Clariion disk arrays, with centralised management and automation of encryption keys. The new software will become available in May. HP added several storage security products to its Secure Advantage portfolio, including the first OEM rollout of Cisco's SAN encryption switch. It also added the StorageWorks 1/8 G2 and MSL LTO-4 Encryption Kit, which is a small library and key management system meant for SMEs or branch offices, integration between the HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager and the HP Compliance Log Warehouse, and a free storage security assessment tool on the HP Web site. Elsewhere, Brocade was showing off a planned data security feature for its Data Center Fabric architecture at the RSA conference in San Francisco last week.
