We looked into it, but couldn\u2019t afford the licenses. As it stands now, our \u201cstandard\u201d licenses (or the Lenovo equivalent \u2014 data management, or data access? I forget) are apparently about to double in price. Glad to hear that if something changed in that area,
it works well.</div>

<div dir="auto">For GPFS encryption we use an IBM SKLM (Key Server) and it uses SSL certificates for that communication. The SKLM server needs to provide / use TLS 1.3 SSL to pass our security standards but GPFS doesn't state it will support that.
