This integration allows Nutanix AHV to use Utimaco ESKM to manage encryption keys securely. Nutanix AHV handles virtualization, while Utimaco ESKM stores and controls the keys used to encrypt data stored on the Nutanix cluster.
The main objectives of this integration are:
-
To enable secure encryption of data.
-
To manage encryption keys externally through Utimaco ESKM.
-
To support compliance with data protection and security standards.
-
To maintain high availability and performance of the Nutanix environment.
-
To simplify encryption operations such as key rotation and rekeying.
