Sun, IBM launch tape encryption technology
Sun Microsystems and IBM are both introducing data tape encryption technology this week, protecting against a security breach that can endanger or embarrass an enterprise. Sun unveiled on Wednesday the StorageTek Crypto-Ready T10000 tape drive (base price: $37,000), which can be set to encrypt data as it records it on the drive. This is one of the first products to be introduced following Sun's acquisition of StorageTek in 2005, said Nigel Dessau, vice president of Sun's tape business.
Sun's announcement was preceded Tuesday by IBM's introduction of a new TS1120 tape drive (base price: $35,500) that comes with encryption capability standard. Customers who already have TS1120s can add the encryption feature. Both products have encryption key management features that make it easy for enterprises to make sure the right people can see the data and the wrong people can't.
