Planning for storage of encrypted data

Determine whether your company requires stored data to be encrypted, and choose the option that best suits your needs.

If your company requires the data in storage pools to be encrypted, then you have the option of using Tivoli® Storage Manager encryption, or an external device such as tape for encryption.

If you choose Tivoli Storage Manager to encrypt the data, extra computing resources are required at the client that might affect the performance for the backing up and restore processes.
