About Swarm Software from Hifn

Hifn's simple-to-implement and easy-to-use iSCSI software delivers a robust feature set that continues the company's mission to protect sensitive data in the mid market.  The solution offers a unique feature providing support for both iSCSI and NAS storage protocols within Microsoft Windows environments.  Setting itself apart from typical iSCSI software products, Hifn includes a rich feature set of storage management and data availability services designed to simplify and reduce storage management overhead and improve data security and availability for SMB/SME customers.  All iSCSI management - including administration of multiple deployed appliances -- is handled via an intuitive web-based GUI. The solution provides broad volume management features with support for on-the-fly volume and capacity expansion and enhanced data availability with Multi-Path I/O support, providing dual data paths for active/active access to storage.  Advanced data protection is included by enabling VSS-consistent snapshots and volume-based remote replication to facilitate disaster recovery and business continuity operations.  Hifn's innovative iSCSI software also includes integrated backup, enabling users to backup directly from SAN-based storage, greatly reducing the backup window and eliminating backup traffic from the production Ethernet LAN.
