Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
CM180D delivers a complete solution for all primary and secondary disk-based storage application, with in-line encryption processing, discrete security administration controls, and a comprehensive, automated key management system. The integration of powerful encryption processing and high port count, any-to-any connectivity allows for CM180D to deliver an enormous amount of functionality with far less consumption space, power, and cooling than first generation in-line encryption appliances.
