Hello Muhammad,

 

Thanks for the feedback and I note that for you the current capacity may be fine for a while.

Also there may be interest in a service offering if it is more cost-effective for you and delivers the right level of capability.

 

Best regards

 

Alan

For now it is sufficient as the usage is pretty much light... as for future, perhaps we would like to test it into its limit before we decide

 

whether to upgrade (buy a higher grade HSM) or purchase another HSM or not.

So far we are happy with the current implementation. Definitely, we would look into HSM as a service in the future when there is a need

 

and yet more cost effective than owning the device.
