Britestream Applied: Solution for IBM WebSphere

  Key Benefits
  • Frees valuable server resources by offloading 100% of SSL processing
  • Tamper resistant, hardware-based solution protects encryption keys and certificates
  • Lower TCO by eliminating the need for additional server and licensing fees
 
  
The award-winning Britestream data privacy technology provides a secure, scalable and simple solution for processing SSL-encrypted network traffic in applications based on IBM WebSphere. SSL can often impose a significant performance burden on these applications, which often means deploying more server hardware than necessary just to implement SSL. The Britestream SSL security NIC provides 100% SSL offload while also enhancing security. This allows for a highly secure web server or collaboration portal deployment that maximizes performance and ultimately means optimal response time for the users.  Now SSL security can be turned on by default.

Scalable Performance and Easy Integration for WebSphere-Based Applications

Ready for WebSphereWebSphere uses SSL encryption as the default method to secure transmissions across the Internet. The Britestream SSL security NIC offers 100% offload for this extremely processor intensive function, thereby improving response times to the remote access clients. Together, Britestream and IBM offer superior SSL security and performance, with no penalty for simply activating SSL.

WebSphere Applications Commonly Needing High-Performance SSL:

  • E-commerce transactions
  • Remote access to secure web-based applications
  • Secure collaboration portals

Enhanced Security

IBM Business PartnerThe Britestream BN1200 SSL security NIC allows private keys and certificates to be stored within tamper-resistant hardware.  It also supports advanced cryptographic functions by allowing the use of 1K, 2K or 4K RSA key sizes and supporting a variety of encryption algorithms, including AES-256.  And for environments that process only secure traffic on specific ports, the BN1200 can essentially reject traffic on any other port, thereby preventing the host application from having to deal with it.
