Module description

NeoScale CryptoStor Tape is a readily deployable, high-speed tape security appliance that compresses, encrypts and digitally signs data as it goes to tape media or virtual tape--without disrupting backup processes. CryptoStor dynamically intercepts backup/restore communications between hosts and tape libraries-centrally managing and fully off-loading tape media security functions. It seamlessly integrates with widely used backup applications and incorporates Global Key Management technology for strong key management and data recovery with the appliance or with a software-only utility.
