On Tuesday, Protegrity Corporation and Teradata announced new cryptography performance of over 6 million decryptions and over 9 million encryptions per second, offering a huge jump in overall data protection and less impact on business operations the companies say.

The Protegrity Defiance DPS uses Teradata User Defined Functions (UDFs) to embed encryption/decryption functionality in the database. Teradata's UDF implementation and parallel architecture provides efficient execution, and scales that performance linearly as the system grows in size. Teradata has a reputation for Enterprise Data Warehousing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_warehouse) and they have worked with Protegrity in the past, so seeing these two companies is not a shock. The shock is the sheer volume of encryptions and decryptions offered.
"Our research shows that businesses worry that data protection may impact application performance. These test results show that the partnership between Teradata and Protegrity …help customers protect data and achieve regulatory compliance," said Gordon Rapkin, president and chief executive officer of Protegrity.
The test included the Defiance Data Protection System, utilizing industry standard AES and Teradata 12 on a six-node (12 Intel Xeon processors) Teradata 5550 Platform.
"High performance data protection enables our customers to confidently meet their privacy and compliance obligations," said Randy Lea, vice president, Teradata products and services. "The efficiency of this data protection…frees our customers from the technical challenges to focus on the value of business analytics."
The testing and the results are impressive, but missing from the announcement was information related to costs. What about smaller networks that are larger than SMB scale, but smaller than what is classified as Enterprise scale? (500-1000 systems or users for example.) Requests for information were not returned by deadline. As more information is given to The Tech Herald this story will be updated.
