BOSaNOVA Releases New Model of their Q3 Storage Encryption Appliance

Q3 Enterprise now offers increased speed and user selectable AES encryption

Phoenix, AZ - November 17, 2008 -  BOSaNOVA, Inc., the market leader in development of Security Solutions, Thin Clients and Network Appliances today announces the release of a new model of their Q3 storage security encryption appliance – Q3 Enterprise (Q3e.)

The new Q3e appliance is now available with user selectable AES-128 or AES-256 encryption modes and supports up to four tape drives. SCSI and Fibre units are available. The host and tape interface speed has increased on both - 320 Mb/sec on SCSI and 4 Gbit/sec on Fibre channel. Encrypted throughput has also increased to 300 MB/second.

Due to recent government regulations companies are now required by law to protect consumer’s personal information. Regulations like HIPAA protect consumers by requiring that their critical personal data is secure at all times. California Senate Bill 1386 goes one step further by requiring that customers are notified immediately when there’s a suspicion that their personal data has been compromised. This can be as simple as a tape lost in transit.

Providing complete security for backup tapes, the Q3e appliance is designed to be easy-to-use and non-intrusive. Installation takes only minutes and key management is strong, yet simple. For the highest level of security, each Q3e appliance includes a hardware encryption chip that is unique to each customer.

“The Q3 has filled a need in the market for a simple, secure, non-intrusive hardware encryption device for protecting backups. Our newest model now offers increased speed and allows users the flexibility to determine the encryption mode that is best for their environment,” says Martin Pladgeman, BOSaNOVA President. “We pride ourselves on always providing solutions that meet our customer’s needs. Part of this commitment is the 90-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee we offer on all Q3 orders.”

“The Q3i includes many features that set it apart from other tape drives. The most appealing features are its strong encryption and simplicity,” says Martin Pladgeman, BOSaNOVA President. “Key management is simple, installation is easy and there’s no software changes required on the host.”

For a limited time, BOSaNOVA is offering free professional services on all new Q3e purchases. Professional services include sending a technician on-site to install the solution, ensure proper operation no matter what the host, OS, or backup software, and educate staff on the product.

The Q3e is available for purchase through BOSaNOVA’s resellers. For more information contact BOSaNOVA, Inc. toll-free at (866) 865-5250, or send e-mail to: info@theq3.com. For more details on the products, visit BOSaNOVA online at www.theq3.com
