Gazzang’s Data Encryption Solution Now Available for GoGrid’s Cloud Infrastructure

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gazzang, Inc., the cloud infrastructure software company, today announced its ezNcryptTM data security solution is now available on the GoGrid Exchange, a central repository of cloud server images and solutions for GoGrid cloud infrastructure customers, giving enterprises more choice and less risk associated with deploying data-intensive resources and applications in public and private cloud environments.


GoGrid’s cloud infrastructure service enables sysadmins, developers and IT professionals to create, deploy and control cloud environments and complex virtual and physical server networks with full administrative control. The GoGrid Exchange allows customers to quickly and easily deploy cloud-enabled partner software solutions within GoGrid’s infrastructure-as-a-service. The company was recently positioned in the "Visionaries" quadrant of Gartner, Inc.’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service and Web Hosting.

Gazzang’s ezNcrypt for MySQL solution provides high performance, enhanced security and transparent encryption for MySQL without requiring changes to the existing database or application code. Gazzang’s solution uses dual authentication keys and protects critical data from being accessed even by the Linux root-level administrators, a key requirement of many government and regulatory guidelines.

“Ensuring data is protected and secured is a top priority for enterprises moving to the cloud,” said Chris Gillan, vice president of business development at Gazzang. “Gazzang will help GoGrid’s customers encrypt data and limit data access so they can realize the true value of cloud computing.”

Gazzang ezNcrypt’s capabilities are particularly useful for GoGrid customers looking to:

    * Meet compliance standards - PCI, HIPAA, HITECH, FISMA, SOX, GLBA and others
    * Protect against rogue employees
    * Alleviate concerns related to storing data in a shared cloud environment
    * Protect sensitive or propriety intellectual property
    * Implement encryption with zero modification to the application or database

“Enterprises will find great value in utilizing Gazzang’s ezNcrypt for additional data security and protection,” said Jeffrey Samuels, chief marketing officer at GoGrid. “The GoGrid Exchange was built for customers to leverage powerful, best-of-breed, partner solutions like Gazzang’s partner server images as well as to open up new distribution channels for partners.”

GoGrid will begin offering Gazzang’s ezNcrypt images immediately. Supported platforms include:

    * MySQL for Centos
    * MySQL for Red Hat
    * MySQL for Ubuntu
    * MySQL for Debian
