Protect data centers from the ground up with the Flex Data Center Secure Control Module

As data centers evolve to meet the growing demands of cloud computing and AI, the need for robust security has never been more critical. The Flex Data Center Secure Control Module (DC-SCM) answers the challenge, providing a powerful, integrated solution to protect your data center infrastructure from the ground up.

The Flex DC-SCM, designed to secure your data center hardware, is a next-generation security module based on Open Compute Platform (OCP) DC-SCM specifications. It goes beyond traditional security measures by integrating directly with your servers and network infrastructure. Think of it as a central control system in a chassis for security, giving you a single point of control for managing and monitoring the integrity of your hardware and software.

Flex offers two OCP-compliant DC-SCM models that support a horizontal form factor, with design options for vertical orientation or other custom form factors.

Key features and benefits

The DC-SCM is packed with features that make it an essential tool for any modern data center. It provides common server management, security, and control functions in a common form factor module. The DC-SCMs support OCP Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) Host Processor Module (HPM) implementations or any server platforms with a matching Data Center-Ready Secure Control Interface (DC-SCI).

Both models use the Aspeed AST2600 BMC SoC, AST1060 RoT module, and Infineon SLB 9672 TPM 2.0 module. They also feature redundant flash memory modules for BIOS and BMC for the accompanying OpenBMC management software.

Typical use cases include managing server, storage, networking, and other applicable IT equipment that support a DC-SCI connector interface between a Host Processor Module (HPM) and the Flex DC-SCM. The DC-SCM connectivity interface is also platform agnostic, supporting both x86 and ARM architectures.

Advanced Platform Root of Trust (RoT)

For the Platform Root of Trust (RoT) module, Flex DC-SCMs use an Aspeed AST1060 security processor. When configured with the platform RoT, the DC-SCMs offer Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite 2.0 and Post Quantum Computing support with PQC algorithms XMSS and LMS. This future-proof design also supports Intel Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) 4.0 and future Intel and AMD platform security designs.

Accelerating development with the DC-SCM Adapter Board (DAB)

The DC-SCM also comes with a DC-SCM Adapter Board (DAB), which enables BMC standalone operation. The DAB can be used to evaluate the DC-SCM software stack and test the hardware components on the board.

Customization and flexibility

Flex can customize and manufacture the DC-SCM reference designs to suit your requirements. The existing design is a superset supporting a comprehensive feature set while being compliant with the OCP specification, but the design can be customized to add or remove components as needed.
