CipherOptics Security Gateway an Encryption Option With CNT's IP Storage Networking Solutions; Additional Security for Storage Over IP Solutions.Business Editors/High Tech Writers RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2002 CipherOptics, a leading innovator of high-speed gigabit encryption for IP networks, announced today that the CipherOptics Security Gateway has been qualified by CNT (Carbon NanoTube) See nanotube. for use with CNT's IP storage networking solutions. The security gateway helps improve business continuity and resiliency by providing high-speed encryption for data transmitted over IP-based storage networks. CNT, the global storage networking experts, completed performance and interoperability testing of the CipherOptics Security Gateway, a gigabit speed data encryption data encryption, the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign appliance. The combination of CipherOptics Security Gateway to CNT's UltraNet Edge Storage Router See data mover. offering gives businesses the additional benefit of data encryption while also utilizing full Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. wire-speed transmission. "The UltraNet Edge Storage Router is designed for maximum bandwidth utilization," said Brian Larsen Brian Larsen (born April 9, 1986 in Laurel, Maryland) is a guitarist, singer, and record producer. "Twilights Moon" is Larsen's main musical project, and as a solo artist and contributor to other artists' work, he has been awarded six RIAA gold/platinum sales awards, but is , senior director of product management, CNT. "The coupling of our UltraNet Edge Storage Router with CipherOptics data encryption appliance gives our customers an additional option for maintaining their data in a networked storage environment without the overhead and performance penalties traditionally associated with encryption technology." CipherOptics Security Gateway combines robust 3DES IPSec encryption at multi-gigabit full duplex (Computers) arranged so that the information may be transmitted in both directions simultaneously; - of communications channels between computers; contrasted with "Storage networking is a perfect fit for the CipherOptics Security Gateway, and CNT's UltraNet Edge Storage Router is an excellent storage networking product and a strong compliment to the CipherOptics Security Gateway," said Ron Willis The CipherOptics Security Gateway can be deployed with the CNT UltraNet Edge Storage Router. The UltraNet Edge Storage Router is a compact, intelligent, user-friendly storage networking platform that allows customers to leverage IP infrastructures and Fibre Channel investments to deploy remote storage solutions that meet Data Availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider. , Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery requirements, including disk and tape mirroring and backup and recovery.
