Blazing-Fast NVMe Server for Accelerated Data Access and Critical Workloads (105TB – 420TB All-NVMe Storage)
Supporting fourteen hot-swap NVMe SSDs and two internal mirrored SSDs for OS hosting, Ciphertex SecureNAS CX-140KNVMe is the most efficient portable NAS on the market. Powered by an AMD® EPYC™ Series (ROME) 24-core processor, this high performing enterprise NAS is engineered to accelerate workflow, collaboration, and file, block and object storage applications. The all-NVMe SSD architecture reduces latency, improves bandwidth, and substantially increases sequential and random read/write speed. To optimize IT infrastructure, SecureNAS CX-140KNVMe’s two PCIe Gen4 x 16 link expansion slots support upgradable 100GbE and 200GbE NICs, as well as professional GPUs. This 14-bay NAS features Ciphertex’s all-in-one storage management platform with cross-platform file share, automatic backup, Rsync, iSCSI, virtual machine hosting, and ZFS RAIDZ resiliency. SecureNAS’s rugged enclosure ensures durability and protection in all environments. For added security, CX-140KNVMe comes with any requested number of FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Physical Encryption Keys (once activated, the device’s volumes are only accessible when the key is inserted).
