Curtiss-Wright Doubles Capacity of Rugged 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Attached Storage Solutions

The rugged HSR10 NAS system, with optional support for NSA CSfC encryption, now securely stores up to 32 TB of data
ASHBURN, Va. – September 24, 2024 – Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division today announced that it has doubled the storage capacity of the Removable Memory Module (RMM) used in both the HSR10 and HSR10-CSfC  commercial off the shelf (COTS) 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions to 32 Terabytes (TB).  The ITAR-free HSR10 and HSR10-CSfC are designed to store and protect critical data-at-rest (DAR) on air, sea, and ground platforms and meet the DAR storage needs of modern deployed C5ISR platforms that capture and process large amounts of sensor data for mission success. The size, weight and power (SWaP)-optimized rugged devices feature dual 10 GbE interfaces that support up to 1.97 GB/s of data throughput (write) and 2.35 GB/s (read) to provide the high bandwidth and storage capacities needed to support these critical applications. The increased storage capacity of the HSR10 NAS devices will enable extended mission duration while ensuring that no valuable data is lost due to limited storage capacity.
The HSR10-CSfC variant supports National Security Agency (NSA) Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) encryption with two layers of encryption and protects up to 32 TB of data with a combination of software full disk encryption (SWFDE) and hardware full disk encryption (HWFDE). Both the HSR10 and HSR10-CSfC support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 configurations and include a Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
“The HSR10 and HSR10-CSfC address the data capture challenge for modern ISR platforms with high-speed 10 GbE optical connections and now up to 32 TB of storage capacity to ensure uninterrupted data acquisition without compromising security,” said Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division. “With optional support for CSfC two-layer encryption, these turnkey NAS DAR solutions are ready for plug-and-play deployment, faster and more easily than Type 1 encryption-based alternatives.”
Both the HSR10 and HSR10-CSfC feature a PCI Express (PCIe) architecture and NVMe memory that connects directly to the system processor at flash memory speeds. The NVMe memory (~50% faster than SATA based memory) is housed in the rugged RMM to ease the secure transfer of data for post-mission analysis. The HSR10 and HSR10-CSfC are ideal for use in manned and unmanned deployed network-centric system applications.

A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verification

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process.
