"Even encryption can give you a false sense of security. Here's a layered approach to truly keep your data private ... With groups like Anonymous actively looking to embarrass your company, laptops thefts occurring every second, and the recent poor US District Court ruling on fifth amendment password protection rights, it is time you actually encrypt your data properly ..."

The post by Frederic P "ZFS secures your application" describes a cost-saving alternative to using an internal RAID storage controller in an entry-level server. That solution uses the Oracle Solaris 10 OS and its ZFS file system to mirror the root hard drive. The benefits realized include higher uptime, simpler management, faster deployment, better data integrity and lower hardware cost. It was possible to deploy an application on a Sun Fire X2270 class system vs a X4170 class one -- a 20% difference in base prices -- and to reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance time from hours to minutes.

Oracle's Netra SPARC T4-2 Server equipped with two SPARC T4 processors running at 2.85 GHz set a world record result of 454.52 SPECjvm2008 Peak ops/m on the SPECjvm2008 benchmark. This result surpassed the previous record, which was run on a similar product, Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. This level of performance is 41% better than the SPARC T3-2 server and similar in performance to Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. The Netra SPARC T4-2 server with hardware cryptography acceleration greatly increases performance with subtests using AES and RSA encryption ciphers. There are no SPECjvm2008 results published by IBM on POWER7 based systems.

"Enterprises are having trouble recovering business information because they are not properly managing the data encryption keys, which effectively lock them out of the critical data they sought to protect ..."
Encryption is no longer an ‘if’ question only a where, how and from whom. In a Symantec survey or 1,575 enterprises they found that "Poor Encryption Key Management Leads to Unrecoverable Data" (which should come as no surprise). Moreover, 40% of these companies did not have confidence in retrieving keys in times of need.
