Economy (ECO)
ECO is a versatile package designed for small and medium businesses, offering a pay-as-you-go model that delivers optimal performance at a cost-effective price. Each user space (partition) provides a defined storage capacity within a cluster of synchronized HSMs, ensuring data security with additional backup to a secure data center. ECO also serves as an economical production-ready backup solution for on-premise HSMs.
