Astek provides ruggedized storage solutions in custom military form factor and standard commercial form factors such as PMC, XMC and ATCA. Astek has solutions for both convection and conduction type cooling requirements and is familiar with the design requirements needed for storage solutions to survive in harsh environments. Astek was the first to deliver a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) solution providing Gigabit data rates in a military-grade Mass Memory Unit (MMU) using MIL-C-38999 connectors. Astek is also able to provide storage security solutions using encryption, crypto-authentication, key-erase, block erase or a complete one-touch erase function.
