OVERVIEW
Hifn Inc. (Nasdaq: HIFN) is powering the next generation of
capacity optimization and secure storage and networking
solutions that deliver unprecedented performance, product
differentiating features and time-to-market advantages.
Hifn’s breakthrough Applied Services Processors (ASPs) are
the key ingredients required for capacity optimization, security
and higher levels of assurance. The Express Data Reduction
(DR) and Data Security (DS) cards enable storage and
networking manufacturers to capture competitive advantage
through both rapid time-to-market and product differentia-
tion. And our secure, full-featured iSCSI SAN/NAS storage
solutions enable storage and server manufacturers to bring
data protection within the reach of small and medium-sized
businesses, branch offices and remote data centers.
Hifn has spent the last decade developing and marketing
capacity optimization and security solutions to the leading
networking, security and storage OEMs.
Headquartered in Los Gatos, California and with development
centers throughout California, Framingham, Massachusetts,
Morrisville, North Carolina and Hangzhou, People’s Republic
of China, Hifn commands the team, the experience, and the
global reach to power information assurance.

Hifn Applied Services Processors
Hifn Applied Services Processors (ASP’s) are purpose-built
integrated circuits that handle all of the heavy-lifting required
to power networking and storage systems optimization and
protection in the age of connected, always-on applications.
Hifn ASPs serve as performance-critical ingredients in
networking and storage appliances providing the processor
heavy-lifting required across the full spectrum of network
services from converged services processing to security ser-
vices processing to data protection/reduction/de-duplication
services processing.
By providing these performance-critical capabilities, Hifn
ASPs enable networking and storage OEMs to offload general
purpose CPUs of complex infrastructure processing and stan-
dards, and power networked applications at optimal levels of
performance and protection.
In addition Hifn ASPs are integrated into Hifn’s Express Family
of data reduction and data security cards, the Hifn Swarm
Family of Secure Storage Systems, and the Hifn Sypher
Family of Tape Encryption Appliances.
The ASP Advantage
Hifn’s heavy-lifting approach to intelligent networking and
storage optimization and protection is markedly differentiated
from that of general purpose intelligent networking CPU
providers, and delivers superior scalability, price/performance
and power-saving “green IT” benefits as follows:
•Low Power, Green IT-ready: Hifn ASPs deliver the greenest packet processing, security and storage services available with a low power and data reduction/compression approach that is a generation ahead of the competition.
•Scalability: Hifn ASP’s deliver true plug and play, non-disruptive, scale-as-you-go capability, as distinct from the “rip and replace” approach provided by general purpose CPU providers, an approach that forces OEMs to re-design-in a new part in order to scale.
•Price/Performance: Hifn ASPs dramatically outperform general purpose intelligent networking CPUs, and are priced for market sweet spot adoption in both enterprise-class and SME implementations.

LZS—the industry standard—available from Hifn
The 9620/9630 implement the industry standard Hifn LZS
data compression algorithm. This algorithm has been stan-
dardized by many organizations including:
•IETF (RFC 3173, RFC-1974, RFC-1962, RFC-1967)
•Frame Relay Forum (FRF.9)
•ANSI (X3.241), and
•QIC (122)
In addition, LZS has become the de facto standard in tape
drives. Companies rely on LZS to ensure the most efficient,
highest performing compression technologies for their
devices.
CPU intervention is not required between operations, elimi-
nating any latency issues. Record can be queued, reducing
CPU intervention.
The 9620/9630 contain input and output FIFOs, separate
compression and decompression engines, dedicated internal
compression memory, and command, status, and result
registers. The 9620 has a fault detection feature that verifies
the results of the compression engine in real time.
Features of 9620•Compress or decompress at 160 Mbytes/s
•Industry-standard LZS algorithm
•Verification logic increases reliability
•On-chip memory eliminates the need for external compres-sion RAM
•Processes multiple data records per command
•High-speed, single-cycle burst interface
Features of 9630•Compress or decompress at 300 Mbytes/s
•Industry-standard LZS algorithm
•“Enhanced LZS” algorithm, with anti-expansion compression
•Compression operation verification by decompression engine
•Source synchronous system bus interface
•On-chip memory eliminates the need for external compres-sion RAM
•Processes multiple data records per command
•High-speed, single-cycle burst interface

– Up to four Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Fast Ethernet ports, ac-cessed through Serial Media-Independent (SMII), Gigabit Media-Independent (GMII), and Ten-Bit (TBI) interfaces, that support industry standard physical layer devices
– Up to one million software-defined, hardware-assisted counters, enabling support of many standard management Information Bases (MIBs) at wire speed
– 16 OC-3c, 4 OC-12, 4 OC-12c, 1 OC-48, or 1 OC-48c integrated POS interfaces that support POS framers
– Hardware VLAN support (detection, tag insertion and deletion)
•Two data-aligned synchronous link (DASL) ports
– Attach the device to an external switch, another 5NP4G, or to itself
– Rated 3.25 to 4 Gigabits per second (Gbps)
– Compliant with the EIA/JEDEC JESD8-6 standard for differential HSTL
•Support for jumbo frames, up to 14,336 bytes. Maximum length is determined by the Jumbo Frame Size register.
•Serial management interface to support physical layer devices, board, and box functions
