Product Overview
The SafeNet HighAssurance™ 4000 (HA4000) Gateway is a high-performance,
integrated security appliance that offers IPSec encryption at multi-Gigabyte rates.
Supporting wire speed Gigabit Ethernet, the HA4000 enables secure remote data
backup and disaster recovery, data replication, and storage hosting.
Housed in a tamper-evident chassis, the HA4000 has two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Traffic on the local port is received in the clear, while traffic on the remote port has
security processing applied to it.
Fully compatible with existing IP networks, the HA4000 can be seamlessly
deployed into Gigabit Ethernet environments, including IP site-to-site VPNs and
storage over IP networks. Its high-speed Triple DES (3DES), IPSec processing
capabilities eliminate bottlenecks while providing data authentication, encryption
and integrity. The HA4000 supports both the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
and Authentication Header (AH) protocols in tunnel mode.
The HA4000 gateway is ideal for bandwidth-intensive, latency-sensitive
applications that demand security and speed, such as storage over IP, site-to-site
VPNs, and the transfer of medical imaging over the Internet. The HA4000 provides
secure transport over private or public IP networks in protected tunnels between
local or remote sites.
