A method for securing data, the method including obtaining, from a metadata node and by file system (FS) client executing on a client application node, a data layout and an encryption key, encrypting, by the client application node, the data stored on the client application node using the encryption key to obtain encrypted data, generating, by a memory hypervisor module executing on the client application node, at least one input/output (I/O) request, wherein the at least one I/O request specifies a location in a storage pool, wherein the location is determined using the data layout, and issuing, by the memory hypervisor module, the at least one I/O request to the storage pool, wherein processing the at least one I/O request results in at least a portion of the encrypted data being stored at the location.
