I’d like to announce the availability of a new white paper for VMware vSphere VM Encryption!

VM Encryption is a feature that was introduced in vSphere 6.5. The audience for this white paper is the Manager/Director/C-level folks who want to understand how vSphere VM Encryption differs from other virtual machine encryption solutions. It addresses some of the operational challenges that IT is faced with when it comes to virtual machine encryption solutions and how vSphere VM Encryption uniquely addresses those challenges.

If you want to compare and understand In-Guest encryption, array based encryption or self encrypting drives versus VM Encryption, this is the paper for you. It was designed and written to help you make an informed decision.

FYI: This paper is not a replacement for the documentation or a technical “how to” document.

It is also available on the following pages:

vSphere product page (under “Spotlight): https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere.html

Virtualization solutions page (under “Resources”): https://www.vmware.com/solutions/virtualization.html

I hope it helps you when you are investigating which security solutions to implement in your data center!
