Hifn and PacketLight Networks Team to Secure Data

08/13/2007

Hifn(TM) today announced that PacketLight, a leading Israeli provider of storage and data connectivity solutions, has integrated Hifn's unique FlowThrough(TM) security processor architecture into its new WAN connectivity solution, the PL-200. With Hifn's processing power, the PL-200 can provide robust data protection and data reduction at wire speeds to carriers, enterprises and small- to medium-sized businesses without sacrificing backup or recovery performance.



ebizQ received the following:

"We reviewed quite a few compression and security solutions and found that Hifn's FlowThrough Architecture stood out in its ability to off load all of the security processing from the host CPU for our Storage over IP and Ethernet SAN Connectivity Device," said Koby Reshef, vice president of marketing for PacketLight Networks. "Our products connect two remote SAN/data sites over long distances, and we were specifically in search of an architecture able to provide the highest level of security and processing power available."

Hifn's FlowThrough Architecture is the cornerstone of a family of applied services processor solutions that fundamentally changes the way security is built into the network. With Hifn, the PL-200 provides IPSec encryption and hardware-based compression within a single 1U box. PacketLight customers can rest assured that the built-in encryption will secure sensitive data over the IP network, which is inherently less secure. The PL-200 provides end-to-end Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity and incorporates all the needed functionality for FC transport over current and future IP and Metro Ethernet networks. The PL-200, utilizing Hifn's FlowThrough architecture provides SMBs, enterprises and carriers with a high performance secure solution that allows them to efficiently build business continuity and disaster recovery applications over ubiquitous IP and Ethernet networks.

"With Hifn, the PL-200 delivers data acceleration, reduction and armoring at line speed, which solves the three primary issues of data growth - data security, management and integrity," said Tom Moore, vice president of sales, marketing and operations for Hifn. "Hifn powers the PL-200 with a high level of critical functionality that customers have come to expect in this competitive market. With Hifn's FlowThrough architecture, PacketLight customers gain a new level of capabilities and cost efficiency without worries of increased costs."
