Datakey launches RUGGEDrive, a line of consumer-style portable storage solutions with enterprise-grade security in a tough form factor.
The company says it uses a solid over-moulding process for RuggeDrive memory tokens, with a tough composite plastic protecting internal components. This allows their use in harsh environments, such as military, industrial, commercial and medical settings.
Datakey tokens use industry-standard protocols (USB 2.0, SDHC/SPI), allowing for easy integration into embedded controllers, single board computers and industrial PCs. The memory tokens can only interface with Datakey's own mating receptacles, providing a base security level from both unauthorised usage, viruses and other malicious files.
The line has 2 memory device families-- UFX (providing USB flash drive functionality) and DFX (SD card functionality), with either 4GB or 32GB models available. Meanwhile panel-mount receptacles are available in IP65 (splash proof), IP67 (immersion) and EMI reduction versions.
