The world-leading industrial SSD manufacturer, Apacer, presents a mass of SSD data security protection technologies at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2014, which upgrades SSD value-added technology - once again. To achieve comprehensive secure data storage, Apacer drives the evolution of the original Core Security technology and launches Boot Protect security function with strengthened protection management, which can be activated immediately by the UrKey, a usb-based 2 way dongle for data protection. Furthermore, the seamless wide-temp waterproof industrial SSDs, ground breaking MLC-mix technology enabling combination with MLC chips and PCIe Adapters will all be unveiled at this exhibition, innovating SSD applications.
Jeff Lin, the Embedded Application Business Unit Director of Apacer, indicates that, “Apacer's consistent focus on innovation and security is broadened by multiple innovative industrial applications and security protection technologies, e.g. Boot Protect, UrKey, and the seamlessly waterproof corrosion-resistant SSD with IP57 certification, which is accessible and well-functioned even at extreme temperature as low as -40°C and provides high protection for durability and stability. It meets the stringent needs of military vessels and aerospace needs in the field of national defense.”
Boot Protect identifies Access Code before entering the OS, thus managing data security within single or multiple partitions and multi-users and ensuring protection at the frontline. The newly released UrKey a usb-based 2 way dongle is able to execute the three powerful functions of CoreEraser, CoreDestroyer and CoreProtector simply with current USB slots, providing the optimal datasecurity protection.
