NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

World-level security

World-level security lets external users access corporate web servers behind firewalls and allows encrypted tapes to be transported and vaulted off site. World-level security encompasses the enterprise level and the datacenter level.

Table: Types of world-level security

Type

Description

World-level external users

Specifies that external users can access web servers behind firewalls. External users cannot access or use NetBackup functionality from the Internet, because the external firewall prevents NetBackup ports from being accessed.

World-level Internet

Specifies a collection of interconnected computer networks that are linked by copper wires, fiber cables, and wireless connections. Corporate web servers can be accessed from the Internet by using HTTP ports through firewalls.

World-level WAN

The Wide Area Network (WAN) is not shown in the security overview illustration. The WAN is a dedicated high-speed connection used to link NetBackup data centers that are geographically distributed.

World-level transport

Specifies that a transport truck can move encrypted client tapes off-site to secure vault facilities.

World-level vault off-site

Specifies that encrypted tape can be vaulted at secure storage facilities other than the current data center.
