OTTAWA, ON, May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Crypto4A Technologies Inc. (Crypto4A), a Canadian company, today announced QxHSM™ – the industry’s first fifth-generation Hardware Security Module (HSM) in a revolutionary Modular blade form factor providing operational efficiency and lower total cost of ownership. QxHSM™ provides the quantum secure cryptographic agility, mobility, and scalability needed to keep up with rapid technological advances, ensures true ownership of cryptographic material without vendor lock-in, and supports flexible cloud-scale deployment architectures while adapting to changing markets, regulations and requirements.
“QxHSM™ embodies our ‘agile by design’ philosophy. We are moving beyond just addressing cryptographic agility, we are revolutionizing the concept of agility in HSMs and their roles in today’s digital landscape. Our innovative form factor enables multiple models of implementation, providing agile scalability of the system in terms of time and space,” said Bruno Couillard, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto4A. “Due to our highly optimized and agile architecture, QxHSM™ ensures an up-to-date and timely quantum secure cryptographic security posture throughout its lifetime. We strongly believe that QxHSM™ will forever redefine the HSM space.”
“Crypto4A has announced the release of QxHSM, a served HSM in a blade form factor, designed specifically for server infrastructure deployment. Less complex to implement than PCIe cards and less expensive than complete network attached devices, a blade server is highly modular and easily manageable from an operational perspective,” explained Michela Menting, senior research director at ABI Research. “The best technology in the world can only go so far, and risks remaining the prerogative of the knowledgeable few if there is not significant improvement from an operational perspective. By making hardware more accessible and usable, Manufacturers can open up the technology to a larger addressable market in the same way that the service opportunity does. The HSM market is certainly poised for some more transformative changes and highly competitive innovation in the years to come.”
The QxHSM™ blade module is a full-featured network-attached HSM in a small footprint that can be deployed in a single-module desktop enclosure for smaller deployments (such as offline root applications), a server enclosure 1U three-bay blade, all the way up to a high-density 3U ten-bay blade server enclosure for data center and cloud deployments. Multiple blade modules and enclosures can be combined to cluster on a highly distributed global scale. The QxHSM™ enables higher rack density with more than 60% space savings compared to traditional network-attached HSMs, reducing operational costs and optimizing the use of data center infrastructure.
Availability
Crypto4A’s QxHSM™ is available to Early Access partners today with general availability in Q1 2024. Technical specifications and capabilities are available to Early Access customers.
