utilizing the Express DS 250 card to handle the security processing
for the high-end of its netfence family of security appliances,
including the new NF-850 model introduced by phion last week at
CeBIT in Germany. Delivering the strongest industry-standard
encryption for securing data-in-transit, the Express DS 250 easily
handles today's encryption requirements and enables the
next-generation network security applications for phion's netfence
appliances. In addition, phion customers benefit from Hifn's unique
hardware-advantaged, lossless compression that is built into the
card, enabling users to optimize their bandwidth by reducing the
amount of data that is transmitted across the network with zero
defect-data. "Today more than ever OEMs such as phion are looking
for high-value solutions that deliver competitive differentiation
and minimize development risk by providing an off-the-shelf
solution for network security and bandwidth optimization," said
Mike Goldgof, Vice President of Marketing at Hifn. "The Express DS
250 card delivers on all of those requirements while providing a
distinct time-to-market advantage. We look forward to working with
phion to keep the netfence product line at the forefront of 21st
century network security solutions." "phion's products help IT
professionals meet the most demanding security standards while
ensuring economic viability, transparency and manageability across
the corporate network," said Klaus Gheri, CTO at phion. "With the
addition of the Hifn Express DS 250 technology, phion enhances its
state-of-the art netfence appliances that addresses the need of
enterprises to efficiently solve their network security issues
while facing a continual lack of resources and an ever increasing
need to cut costs." About the Express DS 250 The Hifn Express DS
250 is a high-performance, low-cost data security accelerator card
intended for today's most demanding network applications. Designed
to deliver accelerated IPsec and SSL functions, the DS 250 packs
over 2 Gbps of compression and encryption capabilities. In network
security applications packets for multiple protocols can be
intermixed at random with no degradation in performance.
Time-consuming PK operations are handled in a separate queue to
avoid affecting symmetric key operation throughput. Dynamic load
balancing hardware in the Express DS 250 allows it to
simultaneously process multiple protocols. An example application
would be a multi-protocol VPN gateway where the same card can be
used for both IPsec and SSL VPN connections. About phion AG phion
