Silverback Systems Drives Performance and ``No Compromise'' Security for IP Storage Networking.CAMPBELL, Calif. -- Responding to the demand for performance and security in storage applications, Silverback Systems, Inc., has demonstrated the first "no compromise" solution for secure, IP-based storage. Network administrators, IT managers and end users, drawn by the benefits of IP storage, are no longer forced to trade performance or low cost to enable iSCSI-compliant data security. The combination of Silverback Systems' dual-port storage network access processor, the iSNAP(R)2110 and Hifn, Inc.'s, (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : HIFN) HIPP III 4350 FlowThrough(TM) storage security processor, allows a full line-rate, standards-based iSCSI implementation supporting 100 percent IPSec encrypted en·crypt tr.v. en·crypt·ed, en·crypt·ing, en·crypts 1. To put into code or cipher. 2. Computer Science traffic. The chips' low power and minimum external component requirements enable a dual-port design to fit easily within the form factor and power constraints of PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). . Performance, Security and Interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. Assured The iSNAP2110 accelerates the capture and process of upper layer protocols (protocol) Upper Layer Protocol - 1. (ULP, or upper-layer protocol) Any protocol residing in OSI layers five or above. The Internet protocol suite includes many upper layer protocols representing a wide variety of applications e.g. FTP, NFS, RPC, and SMTP. such as iSCSI, with an Iometer-proven 250,000 IOPS IOPS Input/Output Per Second IOPS Input/Output Operations Per Second (server performance measurement) IOPS International Organization of Pension Supervisors IOPS Information Operations Planning System IOPS Internet Official Protocol Standards . Outbound network traffic flows from the iSNAP2110 through the HIPP III 4350, which performs IPSec processing, and then out to the network. Inbound traffic Traffic originating in an area outside the continental United States destined for or moving in the general direction of the continental United States. traverses the same streamlined path in reverse. The seamless packet flow between the iSNAP2110 and HIPP III 4350 ensures performance and hardware efficiency. The demonstrated interoperability of the two chips eliminates the need for additional security-based circuitry and the resultant negative impact on cost, board area and network latency See latency. . IPSec encryption/decryption becomes essentially nothing more than a 'bump in the wire' for packets traveling through the storage network. "This is first comprehensive solution that we are aware that offers both high levels of performance and security for immediate design into any storage networked system," noted Ron Kroesen, VP of marketing and sales for Silverback Systems. "Concerns regarding performance and security are now put to rest." Silverback Systems Silverback Systems, Inc. designs, develops and markets iSNAP(R), storage network access processor product family, accelerating the adoption of IP storage networking. The company was founded in July 2000 and is based in Campbell, Calif., with offices in Rochester, Minn., and Israel.
