Britestream Introduces SSL Offload Solution for Linux Virtual
Server Applications
SSL Offload Reduces Latency and Increases Customer
Capacity in Data Center Application
Austin, Texas – September 18, 2006 – Britestream™ Networks
has dramatically reduced the latency of mission-critical Linux applications
for Guardian Mobile Monitoring Systems, Inc. with the BN1200 SSL Offload
network card. Immediate response and unbreakable SSL security are critical
for Guardian, the leading provider of GPS-based, mobile monitoring solutions
for the security alarm monitoring industry. Britestream’s 100% SSL
offload solution integrates seamlessly with Linux Virtual Server to bring
a new level of security, protection and performance for Guardian’s
deployments on Linux.
"The Britestream BN1200 cards reduce the application latency in our load
balanced application," said Devin Redlich, Customer Experience Team at
Guardian Mobile Monitoring Systems. "This allows us to build out our application
and maintain customer satisfaction as we bring more users online."
For applications built to leverage Linux Virtual Server, Britestream hardware
technology offers hardened security while improving application response
time by offloading 100% of SSL processing. The Britestream BN1200 SSL Offload
network card dramatically reduces application latency using its fast throughput—800
Mbps throughput (full duplex) for encrypted and pass-through transactions—and
load-balancing capabilities. The BN1200 can process up to 10,000 SSL transactions
per second 1 while handling
up to 100,000 simultaneous connections.
The Britestream BN1200 SSL Offload network card integrates
seamlessly with Linux Virtual Server, allowing organizations to build load
balancing and redundancy into their application configurations. With Britestream's
solution providing fortified security, highly secure web-based applications
built on Linux can have SSL security enabled by default with no performance
penalty.
