Pure Storage FlashArray

Pure Storage FlashArray is an all-flash, high-performance storage solution designed to accelerate data access and simplify storage management. Combining advanced NAND flash technology, innovative data reduction techniques, and a user-friendly interface, it delivers consistent, low-latency performance and seamless scalability, making it ideal for organizations seeking to enhance their data centers and support mission-critical applications.

To understand how the Rapid Data Locking (RDL) feature fits in, it helps to know how data-at-rest encryption works on the Pure Storage FlashArray device. For information about data-at-rest encryption, refer to wp-flasharray-data-security-and-compliance.pdf in the Pure Storage FlashArray folder on SharePoint.

Some environments require external key management for locking down a forward-deployed array. The Pure Storage FlashArray KMIP RDL solution enables you to use the for this purpose.

KMIP RDL introduces a secondary user-controllable key that enables unlocking the flash modules of the array. You remotely access the KMIP keys from a KMIP server (such as ). Without access to the server, the flash modules cannot be unlocked on power-on.
