| phion Selects Hifn Express DS 250 Security Card Hifn announces that Austria-based phion has selected its Express DS 250 security acceleration card. phion is utilizing the Express DR 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 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. The Hifn Express DS 250 is a 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. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Networking News :: home page |
