>From the press release: "And Spectrum Scale extends its policy-driven targeting, migration, encryption and unified access to the data in the cloud-scale object storage." Take care with the "encryption" claim. Spectrum Scale can encrypt your data as it is stored onto Spectrum Scale controlled disks (NSDs)... I could be wrong, but last I looked, there was no way to export or backup the encrypted data blocks. Naturally when you cp, dd, tar, a file to another system you are getting the file data "in the clear". OTOH, of course if you FlashCopy a volume that is holding an encrypted Spectrum Scale file system, then those data blocks are encrypted. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
