PR Newswire (US)
Express DS 4100 Offers Three High-Value Functions in Single Server
Slot LOS GATOS, Calif., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hifn
(NASDAQ:HIFN), the catalyst behind storage and networking
innovation, today announced the Express DS 4100, the industry's
first advanced Network Interface Card (NIC) that includes bandwidth
optimization and security for in-transit data across Local and Wide
Area Networks, using the company's "bump in the wire,"
FlowThrough(TM) technology. With the DS 4100, server and storage
OEMs can provide three-in-one functionality of network interface,
bandwidth optimization and security in a single PCIe slot.
Utilizing Hifn's FlowThrough architecture, the DS 4100 requires no
special integration, and the solutions can be delivered without
network or application disruptions. As part of its unique design,
the DS 4100 offers the flexibility to turn on one, two or all three
functions. The DS 4100 is also optimized for virtualized
environments, a key requirement for today's distributed
applications. (Logo:

today's tight IT budgets, the Hifn Express DS 4100 enables OEMs to
provide differentiated cost-saving features in a compliance-ready
solution. By offloading capacity optimization and security onto an
in-line GigE PCIe card, Hifn has preserved the system CPU for
critical storage applications and eliminated the complexity and
integration delays of adding costly external devices, such as link
encryptors and WAN accelerators. "2009 will offer vendors an
opportunity to provide non-disruptive solutions that deliver better
utilization of resources and improves product efficiency," said
Benjamin S. Woo, Vice President, Enterprise Storage Systems at IDC.
"With the DS 4100 announcement, Hifn continues to address the need
for highly-efficient, cost-effective solutions that solve the
deluge of data customers continue to experience. The next wave of
opportunity will leverage these solutions to enable applications
like Cloud Services, which can deliver higher ROI for customers."
The Express DS 4100 can reduce costly bandwidth requirements by
50%, and slashes remote replication and backup time, with a power
consumption profile that is a small fraction of what would be
required to power multiple appliances to accomplish the same tasks.
Hifn's Express DS 4100 is an advanced NIC with dual Gigabit
Ethernet connections - either copper or optical fibre -- that
automatically offloads I/O overhead in virtualization applications,
and offloads compression and data security processes, providing
three distinct functions via a single PCIe slot. The innovative
design uses Hifn's patent-pending FlowThrough(TM) processor
architecture to deliver these functions transparently with low
latency by performing a full offload of all security and
optimization operations, including IPsec and IPComp processing;
SRTP; Internet Key Exchange (IKE); IP, TCP and UDP checksum
operations. "The DS 4100 enables OEMs to provide products that can
send twice the amount of data across the LAN or WAN without their
customers having to add extra appliances or pay for more
bandwidth," said Mike Goldgof, Vice President of Marketing at Hifn.
"For customers that need more network capacity, the DS 4100
provides a new cost-effective way to double the throughput while
also seamlessly adding security for compliance and piece of mind."
The DS 4100 extends Hifn's leadership in hardware-accelerated
compression cards to bandwidth optimization applications. The DS
4100 also leverages Hifn's encryption expertise to resolve the
problem of data transfers over unsecured data networks. Pricing and
Availability Samples of the Hifn Express DS 4100 will be available
this quarter with general availability in Q2. Pricing for the DS
4100 is $395 in OEM volume quantities. The Express DS 4100 includes
full Linux and Windows Server 2003 and 2008 software and driver
support now with additional software support slated for future
releases. About Hifn Hifn (NASDAQ:HIFN) delivers the key OEM
ingredients for 21st century storage and networking environments.
Leveraging over a decade of leadership and expertise in the
development of purpose-built Applied Services Processors (ASPs), we
are a trusted partner to industry leaders for whom infrastructure
innovation in storage and networking is critical to success. With
