The AM495A is the HPE StoreEver 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader and MSL Tape Library Encryption Kit, for the 1/8 Tape Autoloader G2 and G3 and for the MSL2024, MSL3040 and MSL6480 tape libraries. Its key server token generates and retains the encryption keys for the LTO tape drives in the library, works independent of application or backup software and needs no support from the backup software vendor.
The kit includes two USB key server tokens, product documentation and firmware support. One kit is needed per library, and the library must be physically accessible to let the USB token be inserted into its USB port. The second token is the backup in case the first is lost or damaged.
The token uses a hardware random number generator, password authentication and digital envelopes for the keys and security operations. The result is a self-contained solution for autoloaders and MSL libraries, with no additional software, PCs or servers involved.
Key manager licenses are separate options: TC468A (MSL2024 KMIP Encryption) works with KMIP 1.2 key management servers on 1/8 G2 and G3 autoloaders and MSL2024 libraries, and TC469A is the MSL6480 ESKM Encryption license. Drives and library kits are in HPE tape drives and libraries.
