Migration Path/Alternative Products

StorageSecure customers are encouraged to migrate to SafeNet ProtectFile, which offers more granular encryption controls and end-to-end encryption protection. In cases where SafeNet ProtectFile does not meet the specific use case, we recommend using either NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) or SafeNet ProtectV.

A detailed Migration Guide will be available on the Gemalto Service Portal on 15 February 2016.
