Utimaco Sets New Standards for Hardware Based Security Technology in Terms of Reliability and Quality

AACHEN, Germany, August 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Utimaco raises the level of quality and reliability in the HSM sector to a new level
with today's release of its SafeGuard CryptoServer LAN V4 network appliance.

    With the fourth generation of its hardware security module (HSM) SafeGuard
CryptoServer V4, the German specialist for HSM sets new standards for reliability and high
availability. "Our network appliances are already known for their extraordinary
reliability and quality. But the new CryptoServer LAN V4 achieves even higher reliability,
saves further operational costs and is in many cases even faster than before," says Dieter
Bong, CryptoServer Product Manager at Utimaco. With all this in mind, the engineers at
Utimaco keep a constant eye on long-term secure investments: building on the well-proven
design, they optimized and replaced the entire hardware of the communication interface.

    In the new V4, the FIPS level 3 and level 4 certified hardware security modules
feature a better and future-proof hardware platform. They possess redundant power-supply
systems which lead to even higher reliability; thus, a broken power supply unit can safely
be changed during operation. Furthermore, the fourth generation of CryptoServer LAN has
lower operational costs in data centers due to advanced remote monitoring options that can
be automated.

    "With this release, we provide the hardware platform for a whole range of new software
extensions to our products that are scheduled for the upcoming months", reveals Andreas
Philipp, CryptoServer Head of Sales. For example, there is a significantly advanced
integrated remote monitoring platform and support for IPv6 is planned. We consistently
respond to market requirements with this re-designed V4," summarises Philipp.

    With many years of market experience, Utimaco has always known how to respond to the
requests for product quality as opposed to applied cryptography due to their
well-established direct client contacts and through their qualified partner network.
