For a customer needing to serve 40TB of data via file protocols such as SMB and FTP while ensuring FIPS 140-2 compliance, the best solution is HPE 3PAR 8200 with self-encrypting drives (SEDs) combined with 3PAR File Persona. The self-encrypting drives ensure that data at rest is encrypted to meet FIPS 140-2 compliance, while the 3PAR File Persona enables file services directly from the 3PAR storage system, supporting SMB, FTP, and other protocols natively. This combination provides secure, high-performance file storage that meets regulatory requirements.
