UNMATCHED SECURITY,

Your Ciphertex AI-ready server system arrives with two hardware encryption keys, providing a secure, hardware-rooted foundation for protecting sensitive and mission-critical data.

ADVANTAGES OF NVMe SERVERS

NVMe drives boast impressive read speeds of around 3GB/s and write rates ranging from 1.5-2GB/s. In comparison, most SATA SSDs only manage read and write speeds of approximately 550MB/s. This stark contrast positions NVMe servers as the superior choice for performance. Designed to accommodate more extensive and deeper queues, NVMe enables more commands to be processed concurrently. This optimization empowers servers with NVMe SSDs to achieve significantly higher concurrent IOPS (input/output operations per second), enhancing their performance capabilities.
