Product Description
Broadcom Secure Gen 7 (64/32Gb) Fibre Channel I/0 Controller - XE701 SEC
The Emulex XE701 SEC secure controller by Broadcom is designed to deliver the highest level of security, performance and manageability for mission-critical infrastructures.
Cybersecurity is a focal point of enterprises and governments globally. The longstanding approach of protecting critical data via firewalls is no longer sufficient, and the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing magnifies the risk if data is not encrypted at all points in the data center, including the network.
To address these concerns, governments have responded with new mandates — including the United States Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 1.0/2.0 and the European Union’s Network and Information Security (NIS) 2 and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) — that require enterprises to modernize their IT infrastructures with more robust encryption requirements.
Emulex Secure controllers introduce a cost-effective, easy-to-manage solution that encrypts all data in-flight (EDIF), protecting data as it moves across databases, applications, servers and storage. Emulex Secure controllers integrate post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms to ensure that encrypted data remains encrypted even as quantum computing and AI put legacy encryption at risk.
The session-based key management solution, based on the ANSI/ INCITS FC-SP-3 standard, does not require complex and prohibitively expensive key management software. Compared to other encryption methods, such as application-based encryption, Emulex Secure controllers can encrypt all applications, at a lower cost, and with no impact to storage array services such as compression, dedupe and ransomware detection.
