Innodisk SSD has MS Azure Sphere integration

Calked InnoAGE, it enables multifunctional management for smart data analysis and updates, data security, and remote control through the cloud.

“The InnoAGE SSD is the first and only hybrid solution designed solely with the AIoT architecture in mind, utilizing data analysis, data security, and data management through Azure Sphere, to secure communications between all IoT and AIoT devices,” says Innodisk president Randy Chien.

Microsoft Azure Sphere provides the Innodisk InnoAGE SSD with an extra layer of security and remote monitoring with zero administrators required.

The  SSD will collect data and give commands for management through the cloud, such as error correction, firmware updates, data analysis, AES encryption, quick erase, destroy, write protect, secure erase, refresh, and recovery.

ThE SSD ensures an easy-to-use interface with a customized cloud management platform. Innodisk designed firmware receives commands from Microsoft Azure Sphere which in turn connects to businesses’ Microsoft Azure Cloud deployments.

Additionally, the  SSD can execute debugging messages and help monitor read/write behavior patterns that optimize storage lifespan.

It can quickly revert to default settings from a cloud-based dashboard if the system crashes. Lastly, the InnoAGE SSD is designed for both in-band and out-of-band network management, overcoming current recovery challenges where in-band management falls short by providing full recovery even when the operating system is down or damaged.

Innodisk claims it is the first SSD designed for remote recovery from its hardware and software innovation and is under patent protection.

As an end-to-end edge and cloud hybrid solution, the InnoAGE SSD works in unison with real-time monitoring applications.
