3 Security Features

This section outlines security mechanisms offered by Oracle Virtual Operator Panel.

The Security Model

Because the intended environment for Oracle Virtual Operator Panel is a secure, data center environment, the security model is minimal, and depends on the computer and network being physically secure.

For legacy tape drives (for example, StorageTek 9840D, T10000C, IBM LTO5, HP LTO5, and earlier) the protocols used are telnet (port 23) and FTP (port 20, 21), which are unencrypted.

Beginning with this release (VOP 2.0), and future drives which support it, SSH and SFTP are the defaults.
