Netformx Simplifies Inclusion of CloudLink Software-Defined Storage Encryption in Cloud Proposals

Netformx®, the leader in sales enablement and profit acceleration solutions that help customers win more digital enterprise opportunities, today announced the availability of CloudLink®'s SecureVSA software-defined storage encryption solution in the Netformx KnowledgeBase™. CloudLink is a leading provider of advanced data security and encryption management products. Netformx DesignXpert®, the industry benchmark for enterprise technology solution design and proposal generation, is built on the Netformx KnowledgeBase, the industry's richest multi-vendor content library in the world.

Using Netformx DesignXpert, CloudLink SecureVSA offerings can now be easily included in EMC (News - Alert) VSPEX® designs. CloudLink SecureVSA provides a software encryption layer between virtualized applications and physical storage. By decoupling data encryption from physical storage, sensitive data can be secured without the IT cost and complexity of changing underlying infrastructures or modifying applications. SecureVSA is delivered as a virtual storage appliance which can be deployed on a per-application and per-tenant basis. CloudLink is certified by world-recognized leaders in cloud technologies like AWS™, EMC®, Microsoft (News - Alert)®, RSA®, VCE®, and VMware®.

Netformx DesignXpert is the global leader in enterprise technology design and proposal generation. Netformx DesignXpert automates the collaborative, end-to-end design process to produce a validated architecture and winning proposal. Because Netformx DesignXpert is so easy-to-use, users can work directly with their customers to design the solution. This eliminates costly and time-consuming "back and forth" interactions and allows the customer to be an active participant in the design process.
