NeoScale Systems announced the impending release of CryptoStor for Tape 1.2, a high-speed tape protection appliance that compresses, encrypts, and digitally signs data as it's recorded on physical or virtual tape libraries. Scheduled to ship in the first quarter of 2004, CryptoStor 1.2 integrates with existing tape backup applications, and uses AES encryption to secure both network- and direct-attached libraries running connected to the network via either Fibre Channel or SCSI links. New to 1.2 is support for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, adding to existing support for backup apps from Veritas, Legato, Hewlett-Packard, and Computer Associates. The appliance will be priced starting at $20,000, with free upgrades available to current customers.

The software relies on an object-based approach that lets IT staff define firewalls, or groups of firewalls or VPNs as a single object within a graphical interface.
