The
award-winning Britestream data privacy technology provides a secure, scalable
and simple solution for processing SSL-encrypted network traffic in the
Microsoft Exchange server. SSL can often impose a significant performance
burden on an Exchange front-end 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 Exchange 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 an Exchange Server
 Exchange allows multiple methods of remote access, each using 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 with the Exchange front-end server, thereby better allowing
it to do its routing of sessions and data. Together, Britestream and Exchange
offer superior SSL security and performance, with no penalty for simply
activating SSL.
Supported remote access methods include the following:
- Full Outlook access, internally or externally (RPC over HTTP)
- Browser-based access (Outlook Web Access / OWA)
- Web-enabled mobile device access (Outlook Mobile Access / OMA)
- PDA synchronization (ActiveSync)
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. |
