Overview

ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT is a RAID controller with built-in crypto engine to encrypt data written to the hard drives. With an easy to use GUI it simplifies the complexity of key management, setup and configuration.

This leading edge implementation helps lower the total cost of securing stored data. This controller benefits the following usage scenarios:

  • Robust protection against theft of sensitive data on stolen hard drives
    • In an unsecure physical environment
    • From insiders in a secure location
  • Lower the cost of drive disposal or redeployment by making the stored data more difficult to access
  • Enhance encryption security and performance over software encryption solutions

Sensitive data can include patient records in medical offices, hospitals, and insurance companies, credit card or transaction data at retail stores, restaurants, etc. bank records, personnel records, intellectual property, financial records and others.

ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT SAS/SATA Controller is a PCIe RAID controller with stored data encryption for Internal System RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60. This full height, half length adapter utilizes an LSI 1078DE controller with an x8 PCI Express host interface, eight internal SAS/SATA II 3 Gb/s ports and battery backed 256 MB 72 bit ECC DDR2 cache.

MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM), included with ServeRAID-MR10is, is a robust RAID and encryption management, configuration, and reporting application. The included battery enhances the ServeRAID-MR10is controller's performance by allowing data written to disk to be cached in battery-backed high-speed memory. The battery provides protection of cached data during an unexpected power outage.
