An automotive company has a fabric with several Fibre Channel storage arrays. They want
to protect theirintellectual property of a new development, from their competitors. Which
solution should they use to secure their on the development department array?

A.
HP B-series Encryption SAN Switch

B.
HP C-series Storage Media Encryption

C.
HP C-series Nexus 5000 Encryption Module

D.
HP H-series SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch

Explanation:
HP C-series Storage Media Encryption
SME is a standards-based encryption solution for heterogeneous and virtual tape libraries.
SME is managedwith the Cisco Fabric Manager web client and a command-line interface,
which supports unified SANmanagement and security provisioning. SME is a comprehensive
network-integrated encryption service withkey management that works transparently with
new and existing SANs. This solution has advantages overcompetitive solutions, such as:
• Supports nondisruptive installation and provisioning. You do not need to rewire or
reconfigure your SAN. • Encryption engines are integrated on the MDS 9000 18/4-port
Multiservice Module (MSM18/4) and the MDS 9222i
Multiservice Fabric Switch. You do not need to purchase and manage additional switch
ports, cables,and applications.

• All VSAN traffic can be encrypted. This enables automated load balancing through
network trafficmanagement across multiple SANs.
• No additional software is required for key and user management or provisioning. SME is
integrated
with theCisco Fabric Manager, which reduces operating expenses.
HP B-series Encryption SAN Switch
The B-series Encryption Switch is a high-performance, 32-port autosensing 8 Gb/s Fibre
Channel switch withdata encryption/decryption and data compression capabilities. The
switch is a network-based solution thatsecures data-at-rest for tape and disk array LUNs
using IEEE standardAES 256-bit algorithms. Encryption and decryption engines provide
inline encryption services with up to 96Gb/s throughput for disk I/O (mix of ciphertext and
cleartext traffic).

privacy requirementsUnparalleled encryption processing at up to 96 Gb/s to support
heterogeneous enterprise data centersIntegration with HP Secure Key Manager, providing
secure and automated key sharing between multiplesites to ensure transparent access to
encrypted data
• Industry-standard AES 256-bit encryption algorithms for disk arrays on a single security
platform for SAN environments
• Frame Redirection technology that enables easy, nonintrusive deployment of fabric-based
security services
• Plug-in encryption services available to all heterogeneous servers, including virtual
Machines, in data center fabrics
• Scalable performance with on-demand encryption processing power to meet regulatory
mandates for protecting data
