IBM FlashSystem 5045: Data Security and Recovery Solutions from China Suppliers and Factory
Product Description
Protects your data from cyberattacks with immutable and isolated copies that are hidden, non-addressable, and cannot be altered, encrypted, or deleted. In the event of an attack, these copies can be quickly restored to support recovery.
Adds multiple layers of authentication before authorization is given to any IBM system.
Gives administrators the ability to determine what features require two independent users to execute critical functions such as deletion, encryption, or copying of data.
An extra layer of protection that allows a subset of authorized users access to specific data on your FlashSystem storage arrays.
Additionally, the FlashSystem 5045 includes IBM’s recently added in-line threat detection capabilities to Storage Virtualize, to identify data changes that might indicate a potential cyber-attack.
