phion is utilizing the Express DS 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 last week 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.

"Today more than ever OEMs such as phion are looking for high-value solutions that deliver competitive differentiation and minimize development risk by providing an off-the-shelf solution for network security and bandwidth optimization," said Mike Goldgof, Vice President of Marketing at Hifn. "The Express DS 250 card delivers on all of those requirements while providing a distinct time-to-market advantage. We look forward to working with phion to keep the netfence product line at the forefront of 21st century network security solutions."

"phion's products help IT professionals meet the most demanding security standards while ensuring economic viability, transparency and manageability across the corporate network," said Klaus Gheri, CTO at phion. "With the addition of the Hifn Express DS 250 technology, phion enhances its state-of-the art netfence appliances that addresses the need of enterprises to efficiently solve their network security issues while facing a continual lack of resources and an ever increasing need to cut costs."

About the Express DS 250

The Hifn Express DS 250 is a high-performance, low-cost 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.
