Rugged, secure network-attached storage (NAS) with encryption for the battlefield introduced by Crystal
HIAWATHA, Iowa – Crystal Group Inc. in Hiawatha, Iowa, is introducing a network-attached storage (NAS) solution with hardware-level protection of data classified as top-secret and below in dynamic environments and across multi-domain battlefields.
The low size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP) solution is composed of the Crystal Group FORCE rugged storage server, RCS7450 network switch, small-form-factor rugged embedded computer, and 19-inch rugged display integrated in a rugged transit case for secure mobile and tactical environments.
"This versatile cyber security fly-away-kit brings rugged and reliable cutting-edge storage, compute capacity and technology to the tactical edge," says Jim Shaw, executive vice president of engineering at Crystal Group.
"Given the vital nature of these operations, our solution incorporates CSfC [Commercial Solutions for Classified Program] elements with IPsec and AES256 encryption, and chassis intrusion detection in addition to being NIST compliant and meeting strict U.S. Department of Defense quality and security requirements, such as MIL-SPEC for environmental performance," Shaw says.
Equipped with FIPS 140-2 data encryption, key management, near-zero latency, chassis intrusion detection, and instant data destruction, the NAS solution protects mission-critical data at rest and data in transit. The system's real-time data processing and tamper-evident security coatings are critical to ensuring immediate threat response.
