Bloombase joins Oracle Partner Network

HONG KONG SAR, PRC - Dec 31, 2005, Hong Kong - Bloombase Technologies, provider of the Spitfire enterprise security platform, today announced its membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. Through the Oracle PartnerNetwork, Bloombase will continue to enhance Bloombase's enterprise security solutions, improving the performance of its flagship product, Spitfire StoreSafe and Spitfire StoreSafe for Database.

Spitfire StoreSafe enterprise storage encryption server secures confidential persistence data on physical storage subsystems including direct-attached storage (DAS), network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN), while providing a virtualized view of the encrypted replica as if they are in plain, achieving transparent deployment and on-the-fly wire-speed encryption. Spitfire StoreSafe easily achieves gigabit encryption speed by protecting SAN data using NIST recommended world's safest Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit cipher.

The Oracle PartnerNetwork strengthens Bloombase's relationship with Oracle, and demonstrates Bloombase's commitment to the growing customer base of protecting sensitive data stored in Oracle databases.

Database protection used to be a technically difficult subject in information technology industry. Database files are dynamic. Their files are shrunk/expanded at real-time and their contents are altered frequently over the lifetime of application instance. Database security requires cryptographic operations be carried out on-the-fly whenever ciphered data are accessed. Securing data files of terabyte sizes at the same time achieving gigabit read/write throughput adds even more difficulty to the subject, not to mention column-based and row-based database table encryption which might introduce severe impact to existing applications. Bloombase's Spitfire StoreSafe storage and database security platform provides a total solution to enterprises who have regulatory to comply with such as Visa PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, etc or internal audit requirements enforcing data-at-rest security.
