VMAX 6 Gb/s SAS I/O Module with Encryption from EMC
Dell EMC - FIPS 140 #2479
Dell EMC Data at Rest Encryption provides hardware-based, on-array, back-end encryption for Dell EMC storage systems, including the Symmetrix VMAX. Data at Rest Encryption protects information from unauthorized access when drives are physically removed from the system and also offers a convenient means of decommissioning all drives in the system at once. Dell EMC 6Gb/s SAS I/O modules implement AES-XTS 256-bit encryption on all drives in the system.
