DataStax Taps Gazzang for Encryption Needs
August 27, 2012
Protecting data in the cloud is the goal of this partnership: Sys-Con Media tells us, “Gazzang and DataStax Partner to Deliver Robust Data Security for Big Data.” Now Gazzang’s zNcrypt encryption and security software is an integrated part of DataStax’ Enterprise Edition. A mighty good idea. Writer David Tishgart reports:
“Within DataStax Enterprise, Gazzang zNcrypt works as a last line of defense for protecting data, by transparently encrypting and securing information as it gets written to disk, ensuring minimal performance lag in the encryption or decryption process. The solution also includes robust key management and process-based access controls that meet compliance regulations and allow users to store their cryptographic keys separate from the encrypted data.”
DataStax build products around three Apache open source components: Cassandra database, Hadoop analytics, and Solr enterprise search. Their enterprise level software ties the three together under one management solution. Prominent customers include Netflix, Disney, and Cisco, but the company also delves into the specialized verticals market.
Operating out of Austin, Texas, Gazzang works to make this whole cloud thing efficient and secure. Their products secure anything, big data or otherwise, that runs on Linux; they also offer monitoring, alerting, and analysis solutions for cloud environments.
