Dell CloudLink is the security partner for PowerFlex. Its specific role is Key Management for Data at Rest Encryption (D@RE).
When PowerFlex uses software-based encryption or Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs), it needs a secure external entity to hold the "keys to the castle." CloudLink generates, stores, and serves these keys to the PowerFlex nodes upon boot. If a drive is stolen, it cannot be read because the thief does not have access to the CloudLink key manager to unlock the data.
