Thales is pleased to announce the availability of the new Luna Backup HSM 7 v2 – a full-featured, hand-held, USB-attached backup HSM that includes an informational full-color display. The Luna Backup HSM 7 connects easily to a client workstation using the included USB 3.0 Type C cable, and includes a universal 5V external power supply, which may be required to power the device in some instances.
This refreshed v2 model includes a USB-C port, which, combined with a USB-A to USB-C adapter, allows you to insert PED keys directly into the HSM, greatly simplifying the multifactor quorum authentication procedure and, depending on your configuration, eliminating the need for a Luna PED in backup/restore operations.
For setup, management, and backup/restore procedures, refer to the following sections:
