Britestream Applied: Solution for Microsoft ISA


	Key Benefits Frees valuable server resources by offloading 100% of SSL processing Tamper resistant, hardware-based solution protects encryption keys and certificates Lowers TCO by eliminating the need for additional servers and licensing fees

The award-winning Britestream data privacy technology provides a secure, scalable and simple solution for processing SSL-encrypted network traffic in the Microsoft Internet Security Accelerator (ISA) Server. SSL can often impose a significant performance burden on an ISA server. This 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 ISA Server application that maximizes performance for its primary function, application layer packet inspection. Now SSL security can be turned on by default.

Scalable Performance and Easy Integration for a Secure ISA Server

Microsoft Certified ISA Server is commonly used as an application firewall for remote Exchange access, high volume transaction web sites, or SharePoint portals. SSL encryption is the default method to secure transmissions across the Internet, whether it’s from a browser or an Outlook client. The Britestream SSL security NIC offers 100% offload for this extremely processor intensive function with the ISA server, thereby allowing it to do its routing and deep packet inspection of the data at full speed. Together, Britestream and ISA Server offer superior SSL security and performance, with no penalty for simply activating SSL.

Enhanced Security

The 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.
