Battle-Ready Solid State Storage

Military and defense applications typically use the DAS architecture and require a small form factor, ruggedness, significant reliability and performance standards, and the ability to withstand hostile environments in field deployments. Many applications require a HAL of 5 or 6, with downtime of less than 30 seconds per year and less than 10 seconds fail over time.

Flash solid state disk drives are currently the only viable product available to these applications. Some examples of these applications are: data recorders, data acquisition, data loggers, air transports such as missiles, fighter planes and helicopters; water transports such as battleships, aircraft carriers, amphibious vehicles and submarines; land transports such as tanks; arms such as hand held rocket launchers; military portable computers; industrial equipment such as oil pipeline monitors, automobile factory robotics, computers for remote areas, computers for secured government facilities such as embassies.

In addition to having higher performance, the desired small form factor, reliability, and ruggedness, our E-Disk^® Drive offers additional security and data protection features required by these applications that are not offered by any other supplier.
