The two companies are undertaking this new partnership to create
data security solutions that meet evolving risk management
standards. SDP2 combines RackTop’s high-performance
Software-Defined Storage platform with Seagate’s BAA-/TAA-compliant
FIPS 140-2 disk drives and enclosures, as well as FIPS-compliant,
automated encryption key management. It immediately satisfies the
18 data-related controls of NIST 800-171. It also meets NIST 800-88
and FIPS 140-2 requirements for protecting non-classified
information, is certified to ISO 28001 for supply chain security
assurance, and meets the GDPR for security and compliance.
SDP2 goes over and above traditional Network-Attached Storage in
both physical and virtual environments with a simplified, unified
and secure data management solution with encryption, orchestration,
versioning, replication, retention and disposition capabilities.
Supporting SMB, NFS, AFP, and iSCSI network file sharing protocols,
SDP2 encrypts all data with no impact to its high-performance
storage and is designed for use as file shares, storage for virtual
machines, DevOps, databases and large data repositories.
“Seagate Government Solutions is pleased to partner with RackTop
to create exceptional data security solutions to meet rising risk
management standards,” said Mike Moritzkat, vice president and
general manager, Seagate Government Solutions. “The Secure
Development Protection Platform – or SDP2 – is the first of many
products Seagate is delivering to meet increasingly-stringent data
security regulations in both the U.S. and EU.”
SDP2’s embedded advanced cybersecurity features include policy
driven data protection, automatic ransomware protection, auditing
and reporting, and Key Management Interoperability
Protocol (KMIP) support. It scales easily from a few terabytes
to multiple petabytes, satisfying both small or remote offices, as
well as large data center implementations.
“RackTop is thrilled to partner with Seagate,” said Eric
Bednash, CEO and co-founder of RackTop Systems. “By
unifying our cyberconverged data storage software with
Seagate’s FIPS certified
hardware, SDP2 replaces traditional fragmented
capabilities with a unified, secure, easy-to-manage platform that
ensures compliance.”
SDP2 is available to the public sector through Carahsoft. For
