Marlboro, Mass.-based backup and recovery solutions provider Sepaton Inc. has made available its S2100-ES3 series 2925 backup appliance with version 7.0 software.
The data protection platform features new processing nodes and enhanced multiprotocol network connectivity options (8GB fiber channel, 1GB Ethernet, and 10GB Ethernet) to nearly double data ingest performance to up to 80 TB/hour compared to predecessor models.
Improved high-performance compression cards are designed to deliver both compression and encryption of data at rest in a unified pipeline without slowing performance.
Many SMBs are looking to more affordable approaches to reduplication, with more scalable/manageable data protection architectures and smarter synergies between software and hardware. With this product release, Sepaton aims to meet these needs.
“This product is specifically designed to address the challenges facing today’s SMB and government data centers,” says Sepaton CEO Mike Thompson. “This includes explosive data growth, budget constraints, costly data center complexity, and increasing risk.”
The new Sepaton product is designed to deliver the performance needed to meet stringent backup windows with flexibility to adapt to changes in IT infrastructures and security encryption of data at rest.
Encryption of Data at Rest
Many SMBs and government agencies have deployed separate encryption for different types or sources of data. For some, this creates an increasingly complex and costly multi-vendor key management environment. Sepaton is looking to simplify this arrangement with its new “encryption of data at rest” capability, which integrates industry standard interoperability protocols for encryption key managers (EKM) to simplify encryption key management and reduce operational costs.
The new Sepaton product integrates with EKMs that are compliant with industry-standard Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP), enabling SMBs and government agencies to take advantage of interoperability across encryption and key management systems.
