HP Secure Encryption is an enterprise-class encryption solution for data at rest on any bulk storage attached (with the exception of tape or external arrays such as P2000 and P2040) to the supported HP Smart Array Px3x and Px4x family of controllers. The H24x family of smart Host Bus Adapters (smart HBAs) also supports Secure Encryption when running in RAID mode only. The solution is available for both local and remote key management methodologies. The remote key management mode requires Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Advanced or Scale Out editions v 1.40 or later and HP Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) 3.1 or any later release.
