Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is an essential requirement for businesses handling sensitive data, whether personal or financial.
However, there are implications for backups and auto-failover. Without central storage of the encryption key with tight access controls, backups are useless and the server will not be able to start automatically after a failover.
The interaction between these components is not always intuitive. This paper is dedicated to clarifying these interactions.
Key highlights include:
Overview of High Availability (HA) and TDE
Operational challenges associated with running HA and TDE simultaneously
Recommendations to be considered for both infrastructures
Processes to be documented, tested, and rehearsed.
