Doug Anderson, product manager of Cisco’s Data Center Business Unit, said that of the possible locations to encrypt data — on the host or tapes, via appliances or on the storage network fabric — Cisco chose to deliver its Storage Media Encryption (SME) of data at rest as a SAN fabric-based service, integrating it into the network so it doesn’t require network changes or new equipment.
