An individual user stores sensitive documents in his or her own secure partition or shares documents in the public folder. Partitions, unfortunately, are tied to users (except for public). There are ways to create a shared encrypted partition, including creating a common password between two users on a third user’s account or making a third user out of other users’ separate fingerprints, but these methods are inelegant. It would be good to have a method for creating a shared encrypted partition in the administrator’s console.
A nice addition to the drive are the encryptable, hardware-based public and private stores, which are not accessible to the file system but can be used with MXI’s SDK. These stores can be used to integrate with applications for PKI and single sign-on, and come in at over 300K per Stealth user. With this capability, the Stealth drive becomes an extensible authentication method for enterprise applications.
Although Stealth might not save an organization from a malicious insider, it’s very usable. If the drive offered a user shareable encrypted partition and a larger capacity, I would recommend it whole-heartedly. As it is, Stealth will definitely find a niche, but it doesn’t bowl me over.

Server virtualization is a popular option for dealing with mounting datacenter costs. Another equally promising approach is the use of an Application Delivery Controller. Citrix NetScaler provides a low-cost way for organizations to reduce their server count and accrue cost savings from a reduction in space, cooling, power and personnel.
