The IPP-NV188A-1BR is designed to sit transparently between an NVMe host and an NVMe target, providing robust hardware-level security without the latency penalties associated with software encryption. By utilizing IntelliProp's high-efficiency bridging architecture, the core performs real-time AES-XTS encryption and decryption as data passes through the FPGA. This allows for the immediate conversion of standard NVMe SSDs into self-encrypting drives (SEDs). It is ideal for secure server environments, edge computing, and military storage where data-at-rest protection is a mandatory requirement.
