IntelliProp NVMe-to-NVMe Bridge with Red/Black Partition IP Core and Metadata Feature (IPC-NV171A-BRrbmd)

IntelliProp: Experts in Memory and Data Storage IP

Select

The IPC-NV171A-BRrbmd is an advanced NVMe-to-NVMe bridge designed for environments that mandate a strict physical and logical boundary between unencrypted (Red) and encrypted (Black) data. Utilizing IntelliProp’s proprietary isolation architecture, the core partitions the FPGA fabric to prevent data leakage between secure and non-secure domains. Uniquely, this "rbmd" variant includes specialized hardware to handle NVMe metadata, allowing customers to perform in-line packet inspection, metadata encryption, or LBA remapping without breaking NVMe protocol compliance. It serves as the ultimate "Commander" for secure storage applications, providing the framework for NSA-level data-at-rest (DAR) solutions.

Key Features

  • Physical Domain Isolation: Strict hardware partitioning between Red (untrusted/plaintext) and Black (trusted/ciphertext) domains.
  • Metadata Processing: Full-duplex hardware logic for inspecting, modifying, or encrypting NVMe metadata.
  • Protocol Compliance: Fully compliant with NVMe 1.3/1.4 specifications.
  • Zero Driver Overhead: Operates transparently to host OS drivers (Linux, Windows, VMware).
  • Command Firewall: Built-in hardware logic to intercept and filter specific NVMe Admin and I/O commands.
  • High Performance: Designed for line-rate PCIe Gen4/Gen5 data throughput with minimal latency impact.
