payShield 9000 / payShield 10K compatibility guide - Brochure

payShield 10K HSMs are fully backwards compatible with payShield 9000 HSMs at the host application programming interface (API) level. This means that you can deploy any payShield 10K model with minimal impact on existing applications and without costly integration work. A consistent approach has been adopted across both product lines for both local and remote management, although you will find that some payShield Manager capabilities have been enhanced to reflect additional capabilities of the newer product.
