Module description

CNN35XX-NFBE HSM Family is a high performance purpose built solution for key management and crypto acceleration compliance to FIPS 140-2. The module supports flexible key store that can be partitioned up to 32 individually managed and isolated partitions. This is a SRIOV capable PCIe adapter and can be used in a virtualization environment to extend services like virtual key management, crypto and TLS offloads to VMs in dedicated I/O channels. This product is suitable for PKI vendors, SSL servers/load balancers.
