Secure PMCStor 9247 / 9248

The Secure PMCStor is a secure solid state storage solution that provides secure erasure and/or write-protection of sensitive data in PMC form factor. Suitable for a wide range of commercial and military applications including ground mobile, shipboard, airborne and homeland security, the Secure PMCStor privides a unique hardware-based implementation of both data erasure and write protect. 

The Secure PMCStor provides two erasure levels - destructive or non-destructive.  Security features can be initiated via front panel or externally mounted switches.


  • Convection or conduction cooled
  • Solid state storage with rugged CompactFlash drives
  • Industrial temperature operating range -45°C to +85°C
  • Supports maximum capacities available in CFI form factor and CFII for most host boards
  • Suitable for a wide range of commercial and military applications.
  • Bootable device drivers available for Linux and VxWorks with other operating systems available upon request.
  • Features:
  • Specifications:
  • Warranty:
  • Hardware initiated Secure-Erase feature offers two fast erasure levels: destructive or non-destructive
  • Write-Protect feature is a function of the hardware and is enabled via an external signal or switch
  • Provision for on-board BIOS for system boot directly from storage media
  • Support for multiple storage vendors enables ideal selection for environmental performance
  • Convection or conduction cooled; uses industrial temperature range components (-40°C to +85°C operating); conformal coating required for extended temperature operation
  • Complete solution includes storage, PMC and software. Each assembled unit is configured and undergoes functional testing to confirm reliable operation of the entire unit before shipment

  • Means of securing media from unauthorized write or erasure of data where it’s most needed
  • Hardware initiated write protection and secure erasure helps prevent unintended intervention, since no OS is required for implementation
  • Cost effective mass storage, eliminating cables and the need to use SCSI based storage solutions for applications requiring moderate storage capacities
  • Solves rugged embedded mass storage requirements

Compatibility
Compliant with PCI Local Bus (v. 2.3), the Secure PMCStor supports 3.3 VIO signaling and mounts to boards that provide PMC sites designed to IEEE P1386.1. The disk controller is ATA-2 compliant. The Secure PMCStor is RoHS compliant. The assembly is available with conformal coating, applied in accordance with MIL-I-46508, Type UR. Designed for operation on conduction cooled single board computer platforms per the VITA 20 specification. Heat conduction areas are provided at the center and front of the board, as well as at the upper and lower edge of the board. The Secure PMCStor may be used on any board supporting standard PMC sites such as CompactPCI and VMEbus Single Board Computers, as well as expansion adapters.


Software compatibility: VxWorks and Linux; Windows has limited support - please ask about that and other operating systems.

CompactFlash I and II Note
The CompactFlash II minimally exceeds the component height limit in the IEEE 1386.1 specification by 1.3 mm including retaining bracket. This is not typically an issue for the vast majority of boards.


Interface

Typically, no cabling is required to use the Secure PMCStor since the drive is on-board. The data security feature can be initiated via a toggle switch for Write-Protect, a push-button for Secure-Erase, or via the Pn4 rear-I/O connector. Write- Protect can also be enabled via an on-board DIP switch
