SiliconSystems Solves Critical Need for Robust Storage Security for Embedded System Applications13 June 2006
SiliconSystems, Inc., a world leader in advanced storage technology, today announced its SiliconDrive Secure(TM) family of products which offer an unprecedented level of storage system security. SiliconDrive Secure is a low-power, scaleable storage solution which integrates security to guard against critical user data falling into the wrong hands or software IP theft. SiliconDrive Secure enables OEM system manufacturers to create new market and business opportunities while enhancing product differentiation.
SiliconDrive Secure provides the industry's most comprehensive suite of proprietary technologies enabling multiple user-selectable options for assuring data and software IP security. Offering designers easy implementation, SiliconDrive Secure provides advanced security features such as ultra-fast data erasure and sanitization, data zones with independent security parameters and secure areas for OEMs to add unique encryption/decryption keys as a basis for implementing customer-specific security strategies.
Unlike the needs in consumer electronics applications such as USB drives, where security is implemented on the removable device, Enterprise System OEMs benefit from security that is tied directly to the host system, rendering the data unreadable if the storage device is used on another system. Tying security to the host system is especially useful to companies that routinely ship software IP upgrades that could be vulnerable to theft and to prevent security breaches when the storage is removed from the original system.
"SiliconDrive Secure was designed to meet the new demands customers now face in assuring storage system security as more and more embedded devices are shared or deployed over networks," said Michael Hajeck, CEO at SiliconSystems. "SiliconDrive Secure is an ideal solution for software IP managers and others responsible for stopping sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands and preventing software IP theft, which according to the Commerce Department, costs U.S. businesses more than $250 billion annually."
Security Technology Integrated into SiliconDrive Secure:
SiKey(TM) -- Ties SiliconDrive Secure to a specific host and/or software
IP.
SiZone(TM) -- Data zones with different security parameters.
SiSweep(TM) -- Ultra-fast data erasure.
SiScrub(TM) -- Ultra-fast data erasure followed by a programmed pattern.
SiPurge(TM) -- Non-recoverable data erasure.
SiProtect(TM) -- Software write protection for read-only access.
SiSecure(TM) -- Password required for read and write access.
About SiliconDrive
SiliconSystems' patented SiliconDrive is breakthrough storage technology engineered to overcome problems associated with hard drives and flash cards that were originally designed for the consumer electronics and personal computer markets. SiliconDrive technology is engineered to exceed the high performance, high reliability and multi-year lifecycle requirements of the Enterprise System OEM market. PowerArmor and SiSMART, proprietary technologies integrated into every SiliconDrive, eliminate field failures from power disturbances, prevent costly product re-qualifications and provide enhanced security to protect application data and software IP, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership.
