MILPITAS, Calif. -- NeoScale Systems Inc., the independent leader in enterprise storage security solutions, today announced that its CryptoStor(R) Tape security appliance has been qualified by Symantec Corp. and HP within their respective rigorous testing programs, the Symantec Technology Enabled Program (STEP) and the HP Tape Automation Compatibility (TAC) Partner Program. These qualifications provide Symantec and HP customers with the assurance that NeoScale data security solutions integrate seamlessly with their preferred backup technologies. NeoScale CryptoStor security appliances are deployed on the storage network and deliver wire-speed encryption, compression, and cryptographic authentication of data on tape. They integrate with NeoScale CryptoStor KeyVault appliances, which provide centralized key management across heterogeneous devices for rapid information recovery from authorized locations.

NeoScale's CryptoStor Tape has been validated for interoperability with Veritas NetBackup from Symantec. As part of the HP TAC Partner Program, CryptoStor has been tested for compatibility with HP tape libraries and is now included on the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) Compatibility Matrix. The latest round of integration recognition demonstrates the commitment from leading backup vendors to support NeoScale 's encryption technology to secure customers' sensitive data.

"In order to bring the most reliable data encryption solutions to the widest possible market, NeoScale is dedicated to meticulous testing of all of our CryptoStor products with Symantec and HP to ensure compatibility with the industry's leading backup solutions," said Dore Rosenblum, vice president of Marketing at NeoScale.
