| Hifn’s 4450 Applied Services Processor Chosen by EDN as a Hot 100 Product EDN magazine has named Hifn's 4450 FlowThrough Applied Services Processor (ASP), to this year's list of products recognized as a Hot 100 Product for 2007. Products that are selected for EDN's annual Hot 100 Products issue are chosen by its editors from the hundreds of newsworthy items that appear in EDN and EDN.com. Hifn's low power 4450 ASP was the only security processor to achieve Hot 100 status in the Communications & Networking category. EDN Editorial Director Maury Wright stated, "Our editorial team covers new product introductions on a daily basis and we see a lot of worthy products. We look back once a year and choose the introductions that we believe will have the greatest significance to the design engineer and create the Hot 100 list." Hifn's patent-pending FlowThrough Security Architecture offers the simplicity of a "bump-in-the-wire" architecture while enabling zero-latency designs with up to three times the storage performance. With the industry's lowest power consumption, highest performance and smallest footprint, the 4450 ASP, which is based on Hifn's proven encryption and compression technology, provides OEM's a rapid and seamless to integrate solution for their secure storage infrastructure applications. The 4450 ASP supports acceleration of the entire data path of IPsec, IPcomp and MACsec protocols enabling total system offload of these compute intensive functions. The advanced architecture incorporates protocol-aware packet processing at the link layer and IP packet layer, and includes full "stack" implementations for multiple security protocols, while ensuring very high-performance, low-latency packet processing in IP Storage networking equipment. The product includes a comprehensive package of on-chip data plane and control plane software, as well as, a robust set of API's for host control promoting the seamless integration of the device into industry leading storage systems. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
