Overview

Cloud storage vendors provide thousands of firms with huge cost and flexibility benefits. However, many potential clients remain locked out of these benefits by legitimate security concerns: Will data always be available? Is data stored in the cloud private and secure? Could data be corrupted?

SPxGateway™ leverages Security First’s proven SPxCore™ technology to efficiently and securely span multiple cloud object-store providers, enabling firms to maintain the security standards achieved for locally-hosted storage while capitalizing on the extreme low-cost, flexibility, and infinite scalability achievable with object storage. This virtual software appliance delivers a scalable, network-accessible drive that users and applications can mount for any storage function: additional Network Attached Storage, backup, or active archive.

SPxGateway uses space-efficient data dispersion to dramatically increase typical object storage availability from 3 nines up to 5 – 8 nines. With SPxGateway, data will survive complete enterprise failure of any one cloud vendor. Users maintain seamless access throughout any short-term outage or long-term failure.

By using information dispersion algorithms to split information across three cloud storage locations, SPxGateway directly eliminates 25% of the storage required to tolerate any single failure when compared to a data mirroring approach. Each cloud operates in a “Zero–Knowledge” environment, lacking sufficient data to recreate the stored information, and lacking the keys to recombine and/or decrypt the data.

SPxGateway is a pure software solution and is cloud vendor agnostic. Therefore, it helps eliminate vendor lock-in, allowing system admins to choose the best-performing cloud vendors for each new project. It offers users a simple, coherent experience across every virtual drive.

SPxGateway enables firms to reduce risk by increasing data availability and reducing exposure to hackers. It offers a secure, transparent path to object storage, helping manage the explosive growth of sensitive, valuable information.
