by Lauren Grob

OSNEXUS, the leading developer of grid-scale software-defined storage solutions, today announced the release of QuantaStor 5.11 with two major security enhancements: KMIP integration and support for Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) media.

"We’re seeing a roughly 30% boost in storage performance by leveraging the hardware encryption capabilities of all-flash SED media," said Steven Umbehocker, CEO of OSNEXUS. “This latest release supports Opal/Ruby compliant SSD media and also introduces the ability to manage the security keys for both hardware and software encryption via KMIP servers. With these additions as well as a wide array of other security features, OSNEXUS is committed to providing the most secure software-defined storage platform on the market.”

Adding new KMIP servers to a QuantaStor storage grid is done by adding a Key Server Profile. Multiple KMIP servers may be added and may be used by both scale-up and scale-out storage pools.

Product Release Highlights

KMIP Integration - QuantaStor now integrates with key management servers that support the KMIP protocol. This enables IT organizations to centralize the management of both software and hardware encryption keys for the encryption of data-at-rest.

Self-Encrypting Drive Support - QuantaStor now integrates with Opal and Ruby compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED/FDE) technology to enable secure, high-performance storage clusters. SED drive management support is also integrated with QuantaStor’s new KMIP integration system.
