Fibre Channel

The CypherNET Fibre Channel Encryptor is a high performance, purpose built integrated security solution providing point to point encryption for 1, 2, and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel networks.

SAN (Storage Area Network) infrastructure is an increasingly important technology for organisations as critical data is increasingly stored on distributed servers at remote locations. CypherNet meets the Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA) best practice recommendations that data must be encrypted in-flight between data centres.

Protecting sensitive data in storage backbones is critical for data resiliency. CypherNet fibre channel has been designed to integrate transparently and seamlessly into storage infrastructures and provides real-time encryption in flight for sensitive data in transit.

CypherNet Fibre channel offers the following benefits:

• Common Criteria and FIPS assured security
• Encrypts all fiber channel traffic across point-point links
• Connects to F, N or E-ports
• Full line speed throughput with no packet expansion 
•  AES 256 bit encryption
• Fully automatic key management
• < 1uS latency per device at 4Gbps
• SFP short and long haul optical modules
• Secure remote management with CypherManager
