Protegrity’s Defiance Data Protection System for Teradata Warehouse Delivers Over 9 Million Encryptions per Second
May 2008 by Marc Jacob
Protegrity Corporation and Teradata announced new cryptography performance of over 6 million
decryptions and over 9 million encryptions per second, enabling
customers to maximise data protection while minimising impact on
business operations.
The Protegrity Defiance® Data Protection System uses Teradata User
Defined Functions (UDFs) to embed encryption/decryption functionality in
the database. Teradata’s high performance UDF implementation and
parallel architecture provides highly efficient execution, and then
scales that performance linearly as the system grows in size.
The test included Defiance Data Protection System utilising industry
standard strong AES-256 encryption and Teradata 12 on a six-node (12
Intel® Xeon® processors) Teradata 5550 platform.
