FS8-18 blade
The FS8-18 encryption blade is a high performance 16 port auto-sensing blade with data
cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and data compression capabilities designed for enterprises
to secure their data against theft or unauthorized use and to compress tape data for maximum
utilization of tape media. The encryption blade is a network-based solution that secures
data-at-rest for heterogeneous tape drives, disk array LUNs, and virtual tape libraries.
The FS8-18 blade provides the following major features:
• 16 auto-sensing F, FL, E, EX, and M ports at 8 Gbps FC ports
• 16 SFP media interfaces
• Encryption engines
• Key management/generation
• Key management with these hardware interfaces:
- Two 1000Base copper type media interfaces
- One smart card interface
• Security supervisor tamper detection and response capability
• CC (Common Criteria) EAL-3 compliant
