InternetIt's All About Security With EMC

Storage vendor pushes security into PowerPath and a new network operations tool.

EMC (NYSE: EMC) is integrating its PowerPath management software with technology from its RSA security division, and has built a new joint platform that ties together its Voyence Control tool with its RSA enVision product for security information and event management. The two announcements, made at the RSA conference taking place in San Francisco this week, illustrate that the storage titan, known for high-end enterprise systems, is moving more than a few steps away from its legacy storage sector and pushing into providing infrastructure security technologies. The PowerPath Encryption with RSA, available come May, pulls in encryption and central security management for Symmetrix and CLARiiON storage systems. It uses RSA Key Manager for the Datacenter that helps users manage encryption keys at the database, file server and storage layers. EMC said the enhanced tool, which boosts application availability, performance and management between servers, switches, and storage, will help companies comply with increasing regulatory mandates such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, as well as protecting critical information -- both big concerns given the data loads enterprises are handling these days.
