Data Protections Strategies Offered by HPE for Secure Storage
HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) offers a robust suite of data protection solutions designed to tackle the complexities of cyber resilience, high performance, and hybrid IT environments. These solutions are primarily delivered through HPE's enterprise storage platforms, security management tools, and data fabric software.
Key Aspects of HPE's Data Protection Solutions
Encrypted Storage Arrays
HPE Primera and 3PAR storage solutions feature FIPS-certified self-encrypting drives (SEDs) and hardened keystore technologies to secure data at rest. Integration with Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) provides centralized secure management of encryption keys and certificates, enhancing data security and preventing unauthorized access in hybrid IT environments [1].
Secure Data Fabric
The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric offers secure-by-default data protection mechanisms, including data encryption at rest, authorization controls, auditing, and security policy configuration. These features help maintain data integrity and confidentiality across distributed, hybrid clusters supporting high-performance workloads [2].
Backup and Recovery Integration
HPE's backup and recovery solutions, such as HPE Morpheus VM Essentials software paired with solutions like Commvault, provide streamlined backup and recovery across various environments, including cloud, virtual machines, containers, applications, and databases [4].
Addressing Cyber Resilience
HPE's solutions focus on encryption and key management, secure-by-default platform configurations, and centralized management of security controls to defend against unauthorized data access, aligning with evolving cybersecurity best practices [1][2].
High Performance
HPE designs their storage arrays and data fabric to support the demanding throughput and latency requirements of enterprise and AI workloads, ensuring that data protection does not compromise system performance [1][3].
A Multi-Layered Approach
HPE's strategy for complex hybrid IT environments leverages hardware-embedded encryption with effective key management, software-defined security and encryption integrated into data platforms, and unified backup and recovery solutions across diverse environments [1][2][4].
Cyber Resilience Vault and Zerto Software
The HPE Cyber Resilience Vault enables rapid air-gapped recovery after a cyber-attack, offering isolated and immutable copies of data in an offline clean room for recovery. HPE Zerto Software provides continuous data protection with ultra-low recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) [5].
Adapting to Modern IT Landscapes
As data storage and workloads evolve, stretching across edge devices, datacenters, and the cloud, HPE's data protection solutions adapt to these changes. Real-time anomaly detection and analytics guide protection and recovery decisions, while HPE Cloud Bank Storage offers long-term cloud storage with multi-factor authentication, encryption, and immutability [6].
Meeting Modern Challenges
With ransomware attacks targeted at backup environments in 94% of affected organizations last year, HPE's data protection portfolio offers a multi-layered, zero-trust approach to address the evolving challenges faced by modern enterprises [7]. HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 offers highly available, fast unstructured data object storage with data protection accelerator nodes, encryption, immutability, and versioning. Meanwhile, HPE Storage Tape serves as a low-cost, air-gapped, offline backup and archive repository with immutability and encryption [8].
HPE's high-throughput backup and restore speed ensures quick recovery of critical data, while HPE Zerto unlocks granular, journal-based recovery of virtualized and cloud applications with features such as real-time anomaly detection, orchestrated failover and testing, and application-centric recovery [9].
In today's rapidly evolving IT landscape, HPE's data protection solutions provide a comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges of cyber resilience, high performance, and hybrid IT.
