Hi Anthony,
I’m a part of Ray’s team. Am curious whether your customers’ licensing of SafeNet involves just the appliances or also involves CAL licenses for the drives
as well? Have you found the physical implementations to work out better than the virtual appliances, or not much difference between the two?
Thanks,

Ray -
The majority of my customers use the SafeNet appliance(s) -- cluster always in these situations obviously -- they are relatively inexpensive and very easy to use, even for the most casual of admins. The integration
with the self-encrypted drives is very well done in my opinion too.
Hope that helps.

Hi all -- for those of you doing encryption (on NetApp or another
platform):
What are you using for Key Management? SafeNet? IBM's KMS? Something
else?
Do you find yourselves purchasing self-encrypting drives *only* for
datasets you're sure need it vs. creating a catch-all location where
mixed data lives but at lesat you can say that it's "all encrypted at
rest"? The approach here can obviously impact costs...
Thanks,
Ray
