Cisco Storage Media Encryption (SME) secures data stored on heterogeneous tape drives and virtual tape libraries in a SAN environment using secure IEEE standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit algorithms. Cisco SME is built upon FIPS level-3 system architecture, and offers secure, comprehensive key management, with support for offline media recovery.

Cisco SME uses cryptographic engines on the Cisco MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular Switch and Cisco MDS 9000 18/4-Port Multiservice modules (MPS-18/4), each providing enough throughput to sustain streaming continuously to multiple tape drives. Multiple encryption engines can be deployed in a Fiber Channel fabric to easily scale performance, enable load balancing, and increase availability.

Cisco SME hardware and software integration with the Cisco MDS 9000 family makes it easier to deploy and manage sensitive data on SAN attached storage devices. Unlike competitive offerings, Cisco SME requires no down time to deploy and no host agents. The Cisco MPS-18/4 modules are hot swappable, allowing them to be installed while an existing SAN is in use. No rewiring or SAN configuration changes are required, and encryption provisioning can be performed without shutting down applications.
