HashiCorp Vault Enterprise has successfully completed product compatibility validations with VMware vSphere and NetApp ONTAP, making it a flexible and cost-effective solution for securing and encrypting storage systems. The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) standard allows Vault to integrate with over 100 common enterprise platforms, enabling organizations to protect sensitive data from leakage and comply with regulations such as PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA. With the introduction of the KMIP secrets engine in Vault Enterprise v1.2, organizations can adopt Vault as a KMIP server for clients that retrieve cryptographic keys via the KMIP protocol, allowing them to continue using existing systems instead of adopting new APIs. This enables seamless integration with VMware and NetApp storage solutions, providing a scalable and automated solution for managing encryption keys.
