Vormetric White Paper Details Encryption Benchmark Breakthrough with On Chip Acceleration

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vormetric, Inc., the leader in enterprise encryption and key management, today announced that it has released a whitepaper entitled, “Vormetric Encryption Performance Overview, Delivering More with Less”. The paper examines the need among enterprises to secure growing volumes of sensitive data, concerns about maintaining adequate application response times and recent innovations that have reset this balance to enable higher levels of data security and accessibility.

“The availability of processor chip level instructions for cryptographic acceleration delivers a quantum performance improvement when compared to earlier generation processors that rely on encryption algorithms to be executed entirely in software”

While many layers of security are required to implement a robust data protection strategy, a significant component involves encryption to protect sensitive information. An ongoing challenge for the widespread usage of encryption lies in the computational cost to encrypt and decrypt data.

“The availability of processor chip level instructions for cryptographic acceleration delivers a quantum performance improvement when compared to earlier generation processors that rely on encryption algorithms to be executed entirely in software,” said Todd Thiemann, Senior Director for Product Marketing at Vormetric. “On-chip crypto acceleration helps make the performance impact of encryption virtually transparent to application users.”

This paper demonstrates how performance tuning and the latest hardware cryptographic acceleration technology can reduce the computation cost of encryption to near zero, and:

Explains and quantifies performance factors associated with encryption/decryption of data accessed and processed by application, file and database servers
Presents benchmark data on encryption performance overhead using on-chip acceleration with leading operating systems, database systems and workloads
Documents how encryption overhead is no longer an impediment to deploying ubiquitous data security where all information, wherever it resides can be protected from unauthorized access
