SPI successfully tests Sentinel with High Speed Domain Access

INDIAN HEAD, MD – (May 11, 2010) – Secured Processing Inc. (SPI) successfully tested a Dell Tower with an installed SPI Sentinel Computer Security System that was used to securely access multiple Solid State Drives. The test took place on May 11, 2010 at the SPI Mississippi Facility and was designed to determine the performance improvements in drive access times provided by Solid State Drives as compared to the Electromechanical Drives that are currently used in most desktop and laptop computers. It was determined that access times were reduced by over 80% when a user transitioned from a Windows 7 domain running on one SSD to a different Windows 7 domain running on a second SSD.

Terry Flyntz, the CEO of SPI acknowledged the test as having major implications for the SPI Sentinel Product Line when he said “The Sentinel is a unique Multi-Domain Security Product since it switches between multiple secure domains housed on separate drives within a single computer as opposed to other approaches that use separate computers or processing systems for each secure domain or software products that create simultaneous virtual domains that run in a remote server and are accessed via a Thin Client terminal. Our approach is less expensive, more energy efficient, and requires no special software, or terminal hardware. Our one disadvantage was domain access speed, which now is no longer an issue with the availability of low cost SSDs. We will be offering SSDs as an option for those users of our product that need to frequently change domains.”
