AFCEA/USNI West: Phoenix International Open VPX NVMe SSD Storage Module With FIPS 140-2 Certified Encryption

Phoenix International Systems unveiled ia FIPS 140-2 certified encryption Open VPX NVMe SSD storage module at AFCEA/USNI West 2020 conference and exposition.

The VP1-250-eSSDC is a VITA 48/REDI conduction cooled 3U VPX SSD storage module that delivers performance. Designed to remove legacy layers of HDD interfaces such as SATA and SAS, it takes advantage of the speed and parallelism of solid state nonvolatile memory.

Streamlined efficient queuing protocol combined with an optimized command set register interface enables low latency and performance. Data is delivered fast with minimal burden on the host CPU. The VP1-250-eSSDC supports TCG compliant AES-256 and FIPS140-2 certified encryption as well as military grade data elimination.

NVMe is a standard registered interface designed to accelerate the performance of non volatile PCIe SSDs. The protocol was established in collaboration by server industry firms to standardize a scalable PCIe interface, making it easier for designers to unlock the potential of PCIe. It provides opportunities for increased data throughput and reduced latency all while reducing the number of drives needed – both now and in the future. Adoption of this standard is driven by a consortium of storage technology providers and an ecosystem of drivers across multiple OSs.
