ADVA’s optical encryption technology scores with Swedish financial enterprises thanks to its long-term partner, the IT solutions provider Shibuya Crossing,
ADVA ConnectGuard is now providing some of Scandinavia’s largest banks with their security. The technology safeguards mission-critical data by encrypting at the lowest network layer, guaranteeing the most resilient protection with none of the latency and performance problems that come with other security methods. ConnectGuard supports Fibre Channel encryption for service speeds up to 32Gbit/s on line speeds of up to 200Gbit/s. It’s also the only solution capable of such speeds to achieve BSI-approved status, enabling its use for EU and NATO restricted data.
It is a big win for ADVA’s partner Shibuya Crossing. Its director, sales and marketing Mikael Johansson said financial institutions in the region put a great deal of faith in ADVA’s comprehensive Layer 1 encryption technology and the dedication and technical expertise of our combined team.
“There’s simply no one better to turn to for secure data center transport solutions that stand up to the latest cybersecurity threats and meet the diverse demands of today’s leading banking institutions. Also fundamental to our success in Sweden is the ability of our solutions to support the latest Fibre Channel transport and seamlessly integrate next-generation storage technology as soon as it becomes available. This ensures that we’re maximizing the power of our clients’ storage area networks both now and in years to come.”
ADVA sales director Peter Atterlöf said the outfit’s longstanding partnership with Shibuya Crossing was providing new opportunities.
“For an enterprise that relies on data integrity and customer trust, deploying Layer 1 network protection couldn’t be more vital. Another important factor for major banks is the ability to harness the best available storage areas network protocols. Our continuing focus on innovation in this area is another reason why so many financial institutions are deploying our security technology.”
