With all of the focus on firewalls, intrusion detection and “anti”
programs, there’s one area that seems to have been overlooked.
Are you one of the many mainframe shops who send backup tapes of
your unencrypted corporate data, to off-site facilities for “safe”
keeping? With mounting pressure to ensure protection from unwanted
disclosure including privacy and security regulations such as HIPAA,
Sarbanes-Oxley and others, it’s obvious that this time-honored
tradition must be changed.

combines proven emulation technology with robust IBM
hardware to deliver an
end-to-end solution that delivers secure, encrypted backup storage
and transmission for your mainframe system backup data.
z/Encrypt uses proven tape emulation technology to store your backup data
directly to the z/Encrypt local device, and automatically encrypts
the data at rest. The z/Encrypt local system then automatically
uploads your backup data according to a schedule you set to
additional z/Encrypt remote systems via public or private
communications links. All data is transmitted in encrypted format.
With z/Encrypt, your backup jobs are immediately encrypted. What’s
more, there’s no need to maintain pickup and delivery services of
your sensitive data for offsite storage. You remain in control of
what data is sent, and where it is stored.
This means that your critical data is always protected, and never
leaves your secure data center in a format that could be used in
unintended ways. Even more important, your disaster recovery efforts
are enhanced, because your data is already waiting for you at your
offsite locations.
