HPE Secure Encryption is a Smart Array controller-based data encryption solution for ProLiant Gen9
servers that protects sensitive, mission critical data. This is an enterprise-class encryption solution for
data at rest on any bulk storage attached to the HPE Smart Array controllers including data on the
cache memory of the controller. HPE Secure Encryption is an optional license per server requiring
encryption enablement (see Related Options for more information on the license).
The solution is available for both local and remote key management mode deployments. Local Key
Management Mode is focused on single server deployment where there is one Master key per controller
that is managed by the user. Remote Key Management Mode is for enterprise wide deployments from
just a few servers to thousands of servers.
