Hifn Acquires Siafu Software for Secure Storage

Hifn has acquired Siafu Software, a developer of secure storage solutions for the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) market, for an undisclosed sum.



Siafu's products include Siafu Swarm IP SAN Appliances and Siafu Sypher Encryption Appliances, which securely compress data and encrypt tapes destined for offsite locations.
