U.S. Built Rugged Computers Now Support The Latest PCI Express Cryptographic Co-Processor

Trenton Systems announced that IBM® has approved four of their rugged computers for use with the IBM® 4767-002 PCIe Cryptographic Co-Processor Hardware Security Module (HSM). 

One of these systems is the TCS4504 - an IBM® approved x86 architecture 4U, 19" rackmount server in a lightweight rugged aluminium chassis. The TCS4504 features a dual-processor system host board, PCIe backplane and the IBM® 4767-002 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor (Hardware Security Module (HSM)). The TCS4504, like all Trenton Systems products, is designed and integrated in the USA. With 7+ years of product availability this system allows confident long-term data protection and user accountability, with lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

The 2U, TCS2504 and the 4U, TCS4504 combine Trenton's HEP8225 HDEC Series processor board and its dual, Intel® Xeon® processors with the IBM® 4767-002 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor Hardware Security Module (HSM). These systems protect the privacy and confidentiality of data in a variety of business, government and military computing applications. 

The Trenton Systems Cryptographic System TCS2504 is an IBM® approved x86 architecture 2U, 19"rackmount server featuring a dual-processor system host board, butterfly form-factor PCIe backplane and the IBM® 4767-002 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor (Hardware Security Module (HSM)). Combining the Trenton Systems HEP8225 HDEC Series System Host Board and its dual, Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 series processors with the HDB8227 backplane and IBM® 4767-002 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor Hardware Security Module (HSM),  the TCS2504 represents a powerful and versatile building block for secure applications.

Rugged Cryptographic Systems Technical Challenges Using PCI Express

Correctly routing PCIe signal traces is a design challenge that few companies can handle well, and taking short cuts in single board computer and backplane designs which utilise the PCI Express interface will always result in suboptimal system performance particularly in rugged cyrptographic systems.
