Jason, We've been using several CryptoStor FC702 models for over a year now.
Our shop is Win2K3 Master & Media servers, with 7 FC LTO2 drives in a robot. They are all SSO. We chose the CryptoStor product over the others we were evaluating primarily on the simplicity of their key management strategy. The bonus was, letting the CryptoStor do the compression (encrypted data doesn't compress at the drive), we got better compression than when the drives were doing the compression! We have also used the SCSI version, which is the SC502. My recommendation for anyone entertaining a CryptoStor in a SCSI environment is to use the Fiber Channel based FC702 with a Fiber to SCSI bridge (NeoScale may still offer a special bundle with a Crossroads bridge). You also only get AES256 in the 702 as opposed to the 502. Support has been good to date. Let us know how you make out, Kent Eagle Systems Engineer, MCP, MCSE Tech Services / SMSS -------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 10:22:24 -0800 From: "Ellis, Jason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Veritas-bu] Does CryptoStor Tape play nice with SSO? To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Does anybody use NeoScale's CryptoStor Tape to encrypt the data on their tapes with NetBackup? We are looking at this solution to encrypt our data, but I'm wondering how well this middleware product plays with SSO. Is anybody running the CryptoStor Tapes with SSO?
