WiebeTech announces RedPort™: a new way to write-block
Wichita, KS — November 7, 2006 — WiebeTech announces a new computer forensic product line that write-blocks an attached device internally at the host computer port instead of externally with a docking device.
RedPort™, WiebeTech's new line of forensic host cards, adds write-blocked ports to a Windows or Linux computer assuring that attached devices have read-only capability. RedPort works much like a forensic docking product by preventing writes to drives; but instead of being an external docking device, RedPort works within the host.
The ports are literally red in color. Connecting to RedPort on the back of a computer means the attached enclosure is write-blocked.
"A primary design task," said James Wiebe, president and CEO of WiebeTech, "was to ensure that an investigator would not be able to turn a RedPort card into a read/write card by accidentally installing the wrong software drivers. Thus, either RedPort works write-blocked, or it doesn't work at all."
WiebeTech's first RedPort host cards are developed in partnership with ATTO Technology, a global leader in storage interface connectivity. "We've leveraged their years of experience with SCSI and Fibre Channel technology with our knowledge of our customers work environment and requirements," said Wiebe.
RedPort SCSI or Fibre Channel work with PCIe slots and provide either a SCSI or Fibre Channel interface.
RedPort SCSI offers a SCSI Ultra320 interface and delivers data transfer rates up to 320MB/s. The product retails for $1,295.95 and is in stock and ready to ship. (Part # RP-PCIE-SCSI).
RedPort Fibre Channel delivers up to 800 MB/s throughput per channel in full-duplex mode. The product retails for $3,185.95 and is in stock and ready to ship. (Part #RP-PCIE-FC).
