TABLE 1
General specifications
Specification
Description
Fibre Channel ports
32 FC ports universal (E, F, EX, FL, and M).
Ethernet ports
Two (2) 1000Base Ethernet ports for I/O synchronization during re-keying.
Smart cards
Recovery card.
Compression for tape
Hardware-based compression prior to encryption.
Encryption
AES256-XTS block cipher core for disk encryption - IEEE 1619.1 compliant;
AES256-GCM block cipher core for tape encryption - IEEE 1619.2 compliant;
AES256-ECB block cipher core for third-party compatibility encryption support.
Data Encryption Keys
Supports 64K Data-Encryption Keys (DEKs) - combination of disk LUN keys or tape
pool keys.
Re-key sessions
Supports 12 re-key sessions (outstanding) per switch. For a given target, supports
a maximum of 2 concurrent re-key sessions - could be a combination of manual or
auto (expiry based).
Crypto scalability
Supports 256 target devices, 1024 host ports (disk array target ports or tape
target/library ports) per switch (quantity is double for two-way HA cluster
configuration).
Crypto performance
Maximum bandwidth of 102 Gbps for disk I/O traffic; maximum bandwidth of 51
Gbps for tape I/O traffic.
FC performance
Support for 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps SFPs which are full duplex capable.
