HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption is a controller-based data-at-rest encryption solution for any SAS/SATA drive (with the exception of tape drives) connected to the HPE Smart Array Controller or HPE Smart Host Bus Adapter (see compatibility below). HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption is a FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated enterprise-class encryption solution that complies with regulations for sensitive data, such as HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley. HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption is available for HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers and for HPE Synergy Gen9 and Gen10 compute modules when using a controller that supports encryption and when the controller is operating in RAID Mode or the controller has the drives in a RAID volume while operating in Mixed Mode. Secure Encryption is available for both local and remote key management methodologies. The remote key management mode requires Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Advanced or Scale Out editions v1.40 or later, and HPE Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) 3.1 or later release.
