Description

HPE AM495A Tape Encryption Kit

Overview

The HPE AM495A Encryption Kit provides hardware-based data encryption for tape backups stored on HPE StoreEver 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloaders and MSL Tape Libraries. This kit is essential for organizations needing to protect sensitive data at rest, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations and safeguarding against unauthorized access to backup media. It integrates directly into the tape library's control system, encrypting data before it is written to tape, and decrypting it upon restore.

Compatibility

This encryption kit is specifically designed for the HPE StoreEver 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader and the HPE MSL Tape Library series. It is not compatible with other tape drive or library models. Ensure your specific tape library model is listed by HPE as supporting this encryption option before purchase.

Installation Notes

Installation requires physical access to the tape library and involves inserting the encryption module into a designated slot. Configuration is performed through the tape library's management interface. A firmware update on the tape library may be required to enable full functionality. Consult the HPE installation guide for detailed steps and prerequisites.
