In the context of accelerating the promotion of new industrialization in the mainland, new quality productivity is based on high-tech, high-efficiency and high-quality productivity forms, and has become the core driving force leading the digital and intelligent transformation of the industrial field. The cultivation and development of new quality productivity depends on the in-depth utilization and integration of data resources, and the establishment of a solid data security guarantee mechanism is the basis for stimulating the value of data.

Multiple firmware and hardware optimizations, BIWIN storage industrial-grade SSDs protect industrial data security

Through independent R&D and technological innovation, BIWIN Storage provides a series of industrial-grade SSD, embedded memory chips and memory module products for industrial and automation applications. In response to various threat scenarios faced by industrial data, the company has carried out multiple optimizations of product firmware and hardware in E2E, AES encryption, SRAM ECC, S.M.A.R.T., etc., to build a solid line of defense for industrial data security.

End-to-end data protection for data consistency

Silent data error is the corruption or mutation of data that is not detected by conventional error detection mechanisms during data storage and transfer of solid-state drives (SSDs), such as bit flipping due to decreased charge retention, data loss due to high temperatures, and having a raw bit error rate. In industrial applications, silent data errors can lead to data inconsistencies, system crashes, or critical business disruptions, which can have a significant negative impact on automated production lines, medical diagnostics, and enterprise data centers that rely on precise data instructions.

BIWIN Storage enables end-to-end data protection (E2E) for write-intensive scenarios, and has a built-in verification mechanism to improve SSD data reliability. When writing to the flash memory, the check code is generated and stored with the user data, and the check code is used to verify the integrity of the data when reading, so as to detect and prevent hidden silent errors in the storage and transmission process, ensure the complete flow of data between the input and output terminals in the SSD, and enhance the overall data consistency.

AES hardware encryption + physical destruction technology to prevent data leakage

In the process of industrial digital upgrading, especially in industries such as energy and manufacturing, a large amount of high-value data involving core production technologies, product information, trade secrets, and even user privacy is frequently "accessed" or stored in solid-state drives (SSDs). However, with the increasing degree of industrial connectivity, the risk of data breaches has increased dramatically, and external threats such as unauthorized access, data theft, and tampering may occur.

In this regard, BIWIN Storage uses AES (Advanced Encrypytion Standard) hardware encryption technology to encrypt data before data is written to SSD, and decrypt data before reading data. At the same time, for some confidential application environments, BIWIN provides physical destruction technology, which can completely destroy the confidential data on the hard disk at a specified time, and use high voltage and high current to destroy each flash and the main controller one by one.

S.M.A.R.T. + SRAM ECC, Data Error Monitoring and Correction

Data storage in industrial environments often needs to withstand high-frequency reads and writes, long-term continuous operation, and harsh working environments, and there may be temporary emergencies such as accidental wear and tear, external impact, etc. However, in security-critical systems such as automobiles and enterprise data centers, the lack of data security will directly threaten the safety of users' lives and the core competitiveness of enterprises.

In the face of permanent hardware failures caused by temperature and power runaway, or transient soft errors caused by electromagnetic interference, BIWIN Storage embeds S.M.A.R.T. in industrial-grade SSD products. The monitoring system tracks and analyzes key health indicators and performance parameters of storage products in real time, such as hard disk temperature, read and write error rate, remaining life prediction, etc., to avoid unplanned downtime or data corruption caused by hardware failure, and provides a guarantee for the continuity of industrial production.

At the same time, BIWIN Storage introduces SRAM ECC (Error Correction Codes) algorithm, which adds redundant information around the original data written and decodes the data block when it is read to realize the detection and correction of data errors (the number of misalignments is within the ECC tolerance range), so as to improve the integrity and reliability of data storage.

Full-stack chip testing and development capabilities ensure stable SSD performance

Chip testing is a key part of ensuring the quality and reliability of storage products. BIWIN Storage has full-stack chip test and development capabilities covering test equipment hardware development, test algorithm development and test automation software platform development, and its industrial-grade storage products have undergone a number of rigorous tests and verifications such as high and low temperature tests, functional tests, hardware tests, performance tests, stability tests, reliability tests, and compatibility tests, showing excellent stability and reliability.

In addition to the multiple logical security protection measures implemented in the process of data storage and transmission, physical protection is the cornerstone of building a data security system, BIWIN Storage has launched G series industrial-grade wide-temperature SSD products for extreme temperatures and other harsh operating environments, relying on the company's advantages in storage solution research and development and advanced packaging and testing, the products have the characteristics of high performance, high reliability, safety and stability, and can efficiently support electric power, rail transit, 5G, intelligent manufacturing, industrial control, Data management in many key areas such as the Internet of Things.
