HyTrust DataControl vs Symantec Storage Protection comparison

HyTrust DataControl is a complete cloud and virtualization encryption solution including both encryption and KeyControl and is available for both Windows and Linux. Initial installation takes just a few seconds and data is securely encrypted at rest and in motion from the point of install until the VM is eventually securely retired.

Because the encryption software is part of the VM, encryption travels with the VM from one physical host to another or from private to public cloud and back again. Operationally DataControl is transparent, allowing encryption and rekeying on the fly with no need to reboot, dismount or incur downtime.
