SCSI CONFIGURATION
The SCSI Paranoia3 supports from one to four SCSI drives in a daisy chain configuration. Each drive can be configured independently for secure or non secure operation. There is no SCSI ID configuration required as the unit will detect the IDs of the attached drive(s) and these will be repeated to the host systems. When using multiple drives within a tape library the same approach is used as for multiple drives but also the tape library robotics is included in the chain. The Paranoia3 will recognise the library robotics and
Paranoia3 is designed to fit into your environment, there will be no reason for you to change your IT systems or procedures. Easy to use and with simple system integration, means Paranoia3 is perfect in a disaster recovery situation where fast retrieval of data is of paramount importance.
FIBRE CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
The Fibre Channel Paranoia3 supports up to four fibre devices and these can be via a switch or when library outputs all devices on a single fibre channel these can be supported directly. Professional installation is recommended for all fibre channel units where more than one device is to be connected.
EASY TO INSTALL AND MANAGE
The Paranoia3 was designed to allow users to understand how to install and configure the units in case of a disaster to ensure this could be done without adding to the recovery time. Management is simple and straightforward and can be done either locally using the serial interface or remotely across the LAN or WAN. The supplied GUI allows for setting the level of encryption as well as catering for the need to be able to read and/or write unencrypted tape if required.
DATA AT RISK
When looking at the threat assessment for information security there are a number of different points, some common to most areas and some specific to particular industries and sectors.
Information has become the core asset of many businesses and with the continued growth of reliance on IT systems this becomes more true for a growing number of businesses. Security has become a big issue but still many people are focusing only on internet access and the communication side of security and issues of access control.
Press reports are however covering a more basic problem, data theft and fraud by 'trusted' members of staff. Some of these reports show clearly that the staff member was 'taking revenge' after being disciplined, or passed over for promotion. Some have been due to simple stupidity or greed.
Whatever the reason the damage can be catastrophic to a company, its reputation and its share price! Looking through the press, or on the web it is easy to find examples of financial institutions in trouble for hiding untaxed deposits, petrochemical companies covering up environmental damage, or medical records becoming available to the general public.
There are numerous pieces of legislation which Paranoia3 can help you abide by. This legislation includes: Sarbanes Oxley Act, California Senate Bill 1386 (SB 1386), Database Protection Act , the Gramm Leach Billey Act (GLBA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard compliance or simply to meet the needs of good company business governance, then Paranoia3 is there to meet these needs.
