SS27G: IBM Tape Encryption Implementation


             Recommended Duration: 2 Days
Skill Level: Basis
Cost: $2,600 (b/GST)

Learn about the IBM TS1120 and LTO4 Tape Encryption and its components. The IBM tape encryption key manager is discussed along with the benefits provided by IBM tape encryption. System managed tape encryption using z/OS and DFSMS and the AIX device driver are presented. Application managed tape encryption using IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) is also discussed.This course will also go into details on the new EKM Release 2 along with the differences of using LTO4 tape encryption for open systems.


Audience


This basic course is intended for individuals responsible for implementing IBM Tape Encryption.


Prerequisites


No prerequisites are required, but an understanding of tape subsystems either by education or on-the-job training will help you understand some of the basic tape terminology currently being used on the platform.
