We are trying to set up vsphere 6.5 encryption for our environment, and there is a short list of recommended KMIP 1.1 key management server providers. However, the catch we are running into is that so far they all seem to require that we have to buy their encryption packages as well. In other words, we are having a hard time simply finding a stand alone KMIP 1.1 key management server without having to buy a bunch of other stuff with it we don't want. So far this has been the case with vormetric, Thales, and safenet. It also seems when I contact these vendors that they don't see to understand we just want key management, and so their sales people tell us we have to buy the whole package, we can't buy just a key management server.
Has anyone successfully set up vsphere 6.5 encryption yet? If so, what KMS did you use?
