iSeries Data Exchange Using Tape Archive

The Challenge	A U.S. insurance company receives highly sensitive information for their business globally, including seven Middle Eastern countries. This information is transmitted on tape media, which makes it highly vulnerable if the media is misplaced during transport to its destination. Additionally, using a PKWARE competitor’s AES 256 encryption increased the archive size, resulting in the need for more tape media and increased CPU usage.
The Need	The company needs to exchange information on tape securely between locations around the world.
The Solution	PKWARE’s data-centric approach protects structured and unstructured data from destination to endpoint. Using 1Step2Tape functionality within the PKWARE Data Center Solution for i5/OS, files are written directly to tape media, bypassing the need to stage them to disk. By compressing the data prior to encrypting it, the PKWARE Data Center Solution reduces the size of the archive, saving on CPU usage, while securing the information.
The Result	Data is always protected. A lost tape is rendered useless if it is found and an attempt is made to read the contents. 1Step2Tape eliminates extra processing time, enabling organizations to meet critical SLAs and adding security to their processes.
