Hybrid SATA SSD provides end-to-end security from edge to the cloud

New Yorker Electronics has released Innodisk’s new SSD Flash Storage that provides end-to-end security from edge to the cloud. The Innodisk InnoAGE SSD is supplied with a Microsoft Azure Sphere inside and is integrated with the company's customised firmware, software, and hardware technology.

This new solution allows multifunctional management including smart data analysis and updates, data security and remote control through the cloud, while profiting from the power of the Azure Sphere to assure secured communications between the SSD and the cloud. The SSD offers an easy-to-use interface with its customised cloud management platform.

The Innodisk-developed firmware receives commands from the Azure Sphere through a second connection to Azure. Consequently, it can execute SSD debugging messages as well as monitor read/write behaviour patterns to improve the storage device’s lifespan. Most importantly, system operators can swiftly revert to the default settings from the cloud-based dashboard in the case of a device or system crash.

This SSD is designed for both in-band and out-of-band network management, offering full recovery despite if the operating system has crashed or is seriously impaired to the extent where in-band management would be of little help.
