Decru Provides Secure Grid Computing Within Oracle 10g
Decru Inc announced it has joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork, and Decru
DataFort storage security appliances have completed interoperability testing
with Oracle Database 10g, resulting in seamless integration and security for
customers. In addition, Tokyo Broadcasting System, one of the top television
networks in Japan, has deployed a joint Oracle-Decru solution to ensure viewer
privacy and security. (See separate release: "Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS)
Offers Secure Interactive Digital Broadcasting with Decru and Flight Systems
Consulting."
Decru DataFort is the only security appliance that can be deployed
transparently with Oracle across SAN, NAS and DAS storage environments. No
changes are required to applications, no software agents are required, and
DataFort can be deployed in existing environments without taking applications
or data offline. DataFort provides wire-speed AES-256 encryption for Gigabit
Ethernet and 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel storage networks, enabling strong data
security without performance tradeoffs.
"Protecting data at rest is a growing concern for many customers. The
combination of Oracle's proven security features with Decru DataFort's
hardware-based storage encryption provides a powerful secure platform," said
Bronwyn Hastings, vice president of Worldwide Alliances and Channels at
Oracle. "The Oracle-Decru solution provides a transparent and simple approach
to protecting sensitive data."
The Oracle-Decru solution enables applications including:
- Secure Grid computing: DataFort extends Oracle's security into the storage
network with authentication and encryption. All data is transparently
encrypted before it reaches the storage infrastructure, ensuring maximum
flexibility with minimum vulnerability.
- Secure storage consolidation: The Oracle-Decru solution allows enterprises
to securely consolidate their storage infrastructures. Users can
cryptographically separate data using Decru Cryptainer storage vaults,
ensuring that storage administrators and other unauthorized users cannot
access data. Since stored data is encrypted at all times, this protection
extends into the backup and disaster recovery infrastructure.
- Regulatory compliance: A growing number of regulations require enterprises
to protect the privacy and integrity of customer data. DataFort provides a
turnkey, appliance-based approach to ensure that regulated data is protected
in the storage infrastructure. Decru CryptoShred features enable guaranteed,
secure deletion of data at the end of the compliance lifecycle.
- Secure outsourcing and offshoring: The combination of Oracle and Decru
security capabilities enables enterprises to pursue outsourcing initiatives
while tightly managing the risk of unauthorized data access. By separating the
ability to manage data from the ability to read it, the solution allows
managers to safely optimize their supply chain and partner strategies.
"Sophisticated IT managers understand that security is a multi-layered
proposition," said Dan Avida, chief executive officer at Decru. "As a result
of our certification testing with Oracle we can provide seamless integration
and security across SAN, NAS and DAS storage environments."
