LOS GATOS, Calif., April 7, 2008 – Hifn™ (NASDAQ: HIFN), the catalyst behind storage and networking innovation, will showcase its Swarm™ secure iSCSI storage appliances and feature presentations from two company vice presidents at Storage Networking World 2008, April 7-10, 2008 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida, Booth 1200.

Hifn’s Swarm appliances, which will be shown at the company’s booth, are the only iSCSI unified storage appliances available with integrated AES256 data encryption, providing a simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use secure network storage solution for small and medium businesses. Hifn’s IP SAN storage appliances enable customers to leverage their existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure and IP knowledge base to deploy a secure IP Storage Area Network without the cost and complexity penalties of typical Fibre Channel SANs. 

The Swarm product line ranges from the entry-level Swarm 1000 with 1 terabyte of secure storage capacity to the Swarm 3000 HA, a high-availability model with active-active failover support for the most critical zero downtime environments.   Every Swarm appliance features iSCSI and NAS protocols, centralized management with an easy to use, web-based user interface to administer multiple appliances, dual path I/O for active/active access to storage, on-the-fly volume and capacity expansion. Additionally, Hifn includes a complete suite of storage services, including point-in-time snapshots, volume-based asynchronous replication for remote storage and disaster recovery, and integrated backup directly on the SAN, eliminating backup traffic from the network and reducing the backup window.

I’d got the odd email about Hifn and some of my friends were talking about using their products it in terms of secured storage, this article mentions that they will be at the Storage Networking World if you’re attending. It’s a solution I’ll need to read up on, anything we can do to improve storage from a capacity, function and audit process has to be a good thing particularly in terms of compliance – being able to allocate, audit and account for storage could be very useful if you’ve got separate business needs or business units.
