Data Encryption

 

Exclusive Cybernetics Data Encryption
Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to protect their customers’ most private data, and that has become quite a challenge judging from the headlines. Serious data security breaches have resulted from a multitude of spectacular failures – everything from sloppy handling to cyber crime.

 The federal government is now exploring legislation to enforce adequate data protection measures to ensure the confidentiality of important data. The options have been very limited for companies seeking to comply. Software encryption can reduce performance to a crawl and bloat the size of data, adding to the overhead of getting it securely backed up. Other hardware-based options are exorbitantly expensive. Now, Cybernetics has just released our newest, third generation hardware encryption option. Data is compressed before it is encrypted so the required tape capacity is actually decreased, typically by a factor of two to one. The entire process of compressing and encrypting is handled in a high performance encryption offload engine so there is no negative impact on processing speed. The integrated compression feature improves speed as well as capacity. Key management is based on encryption tokens, which allow physical control and easy visual audit. The user data is encrypted using the very secure AES algorithm with a truly random AES session key. Reading an encrypted tape requires the use of a token listed in the integrated distribution list. The virtual erase feature wipes a tape such that there is no possibility of getting to the data once it has served its useful purpose.





Cybernetics’  drive status LCD has now gone remote!

iVIEW is a standard feature with all iTape products, and is an option available for most of our direct SCSI attached devices. Simply connect your Cybernetics tape drive with iVIEW to your Ethernet network, and view the backup status window from any system on your entire network - intranet and internet, using any web browser. Use your Backup Window to check the status of your tape backup any time, anywhere.

AIT-Tape Advanced SCSI Processor ( CY-ASP )

The Advanced SCSI Processor (CY-ASP) allows two or more tape drives to work together to maximize speed and capacity while saving time and resources. It is a powerful and flexible tool, yet very easy to use. Choose from striping, mirroring, cascade, independent, and off-line copy/verify modes to maximize throughput, add fault tolerance or make duplicate tapes for off-site storage or data exchange, and you can easily change modes without having to cycle power   

USB Tape Offload

Want to offload virtual disk to a removable media?  Cybernetics Virtual Tape Library solutions feature a Tape Offload feature that copies data to USB disk for secure off-site storage.  USB disk can be mounted to ensure no single point of failure.  This feature is available with miSAN V Series D2D2T Backup solution, as well as the miSAN D Series iSCSI Storage solution.   

miSAN


With the introduction of miSAN™, Cybernetics settles the debate over NAS versus SAN. miSAN™ incorporates the best features of NAS with the best features of SAN to strike the perfect balance in Ethernet storage networking.  A typical NAS is affordable and very easy to implement using the existing networking infrastructure, but the file system overhead imposes serious speed limitations and application compatibility constraints. A traditional SAN can deliver exceptional performance benefits, but the costs and complexity of the hardware, cabling and software can be staggering. miSAN™ merges only the best features of NAS and SAN into a powerful storage solution that overcomes the limitations of both.  

iSAN IP SAN - Ethernet Attached SAN

The concept is simple: strategically position centralized data storage resources across your existing Ethernet network to optimize shared storage availability, maximize hardware performance, and streamline storage management. And now, Cybernetics makes implementation just as simple - as well as affordable.
