EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 Product Guide
Data Integrity, Availability, and Protection
Status and configuration can also be monitored and viewed with
SYMCLI commands. The number of IPsec sessions will be limited to
100 per port depending on the policy configuration. IPsec can be
enabled for SRDF connections. IPsec enabled and IPsec disabled
channel directors can co-exist in the same Symmetrix.
The benefits of this director are as follows:
â—† Reduce the security risks associated with transmitting data over
IP networks.
â—† Symmetrix-native encryption hardware eliminates the need for
encryption appliances, reducing cost and complexity.
â—† Allows customers to effectively manage Symmetrix
communication and encryption with one interface – Symmetrix
Management Console (SMC).
What is IPsec IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a framework for security of
network communication. IPsec allows two computers to trust each
other's identity and share a private key for each communications
session. Based on this session key, the computers establish an
encrypted communications channel and can verify that data they
receive is what was originally sent.
These countermeasures mitigate many security attacks, including
spoofing, tampering with data en route, connection hijacking,
eavesdropping, and replay of transmission. IPsec is the same security
technology used in many corporate VPN solutions, including EMC’s,
to secure communication between a remote PC and corporate
systems.
