TuffCORD Onboard Recording System

Page 1:Onboard Recording System© 2016 Ampex Data Systems CorporationFeatures Greater than 200MB/s sustainednetwork throughput Standard Dual Gigabit EthernetInterfaces Memory Module Capacities to 2TB AES Encryption using FIPS 197Validated Hardware & Software Built for Rugged, MIL-STD-810Environments with MIL-STDPower and Connectors Options for Additional orCustomized I/OThe TuffCORD™ is a rugged, efficient networkrecorder, file server and data loader.Built for tough environments, the TuffCORD goeswherever operators need to go, and deliversconsistent, reliable performance in challengingconditions. With its compact size, light weight, lowpower dissipation and mounting options, it can beinstalled wherever it needs to be.Designed for Information AssuranceThe TuffCORD has been designed from the ground upto provide cybersecurity capabilities that meet the real-world needs of operators. By leveraging world-classsolutions from trusted suppliers, the system isstraightforward to incorporate into a complete Operation Security plan.Performance and CapacityGigabit Ethernet has become the default networking technology for onboard data storage applications, andthe TuffCORD provides two 1000Base-T interfaces, as well as expansion capability for options for video andother bus types, including MIL-STD-1553B, CAN bus, and even WiFi networking.To support this range of interfaces, the TuffCORD provides a single high-capacity, high performanceremovable memory module, with capacities from 240GB to 2000GB (2TB) and higher, as memorytechnology matures. The memory modules leverage rugged COTS media solutions, further qualified byAmpex to meet the requirements of challenging programs.Each memory module offers performance in excess of 250MB/second sustained, providing a recordingduration of nearly three hours at the maximum operational bandwidth.Open System, Trusted EnvironmentsThe heart of the TuffCORD is a standardized, ruggedpluggable processing module, integrating the CPU withmemory and conventional I/O interfaces such as PCIExpress, USB, Ethernet and serial ports. This modulefacilitates product reliability and long-term supply by isolatingthe intricacies of the CPU from the overall system; as CPUtechnology evolves, alternative modules can be used withoutchanging the system’s internal and external interfaces.Two CPU models are available, each a member of the IntelAtom™ “Bay Trail-I” family; both CPUs feature 64 bitprocessing and, critically, the “AES New Instructions”. Usingvalidated software modules, this capability facilitates high-speed encryption and decryption in accordance with theAdvanced Encryption Standard (AES, FIPS 197) andtherefore a part of a FIPS 140-2 solution.Expansion and OptionsThe TuffCORD is designed to be flexible and versatile. In addition to the dual gigabit Ethernet interfaces, thesystem is designed to support expansion for additional interfaces, including more Ethernet interfaces,MIL-STD-1553B, and even WiFi networking. The storage module has been designed to be modular, so thatadditional or different storage media types can be provided as required. As with all Ampex products, acomplete ecosystem is available including ground support equipment to facilitate data transfer to and fromthe recording media. Contact Ampex for more information.
