Case Study: Leading Technology Company Protects Petabyte-Scale PHI with Zettaset XCrypt Full Disk Encryption

Zettaset Enables a Leading Cloud-based Healthcare Ecosystem Data Analysis Platform to Protect PetabyteScale PHI Data Running on Pivotal Greenplum Database

Leading Technology Company is a cloud-based healthcare data platform provider that analyzes petabyte-scale volumes of protected health information (PHI) for hundreds of healthcare organizations. Faced with HIPAA compliance requirements and a legacy file-level encryption approach that added latency, created manual key-management burden, and caused operational issues in its Pivotal Greenplum environment, the company needed a better data-at-rest protection solution. Zettaset’s XCrypt Data Encryption Platform was evaluated to meet these performance, scalability, and automation needs.

Zettaset implemented XCrypt Full Disk encryption, integrating with the customer’s existing key management and HSM infrastructure while delivering transparent, high-performance protection across the Greenplum cluster. The result was near-zero latency encryption performance, simplified deployment and administration, improved scalability to petabyte range, and no impact on analytics applications. Zettaset also enabled the customer to bring encrypted production clusters online in a day while strengthening HIPAA compliance and reducing total cost of ownership.
