NeoScale CryptoStor SAN VPN

NeoScale CryptoStor SAN VPN enables companies to securely run real-time storage applications (e.g., synchronous mirroring, SAN to SAN inter-connect) between sites in a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). SAN VPN is the first appliance to provide wire-speed Fibre Channel link encryption and compression in order to secure SAN extension applications without any change to the storage application or devices. SAN VPN also enables customers to extend their SANs across long distances (up to 460km / 286 miles) without performance degradation by providing buffer credits.

To achieve greater flexibility for business continuity and disaster recovery, enterprises are networking SANs across MANs to connect geographically dispersed storage across data centers. MAN technologies consist of SONET,WDM, and dark fiber technologies which deliver the necessary throughput with minimal latency delays to support real-time requirements of the storage applications. However, MAN edge devices offer no security for Fibre Channel connections, so a network breach could expose sensitive information.
