Množina: SSL accelerators

Hardware to speed up processing of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.
SSL is the de facto standard for secure communication over the Internet and is used by businesses for encrypting sensitive information exchanged with consumers and partner businesses. SSL is a slow protocol, however, and using SSL on a Web server often can reduce the speed of transactions 10-fold or more. As a result, many businesses enhance the performance of their Web servers by moving SSL processing off the Web server and onto special hardware called an SSL accelerator. Such hardware can be implemented either as a rack-mountable box or a card that can be inserted into the server, and it offloads all SSL processing from the server’s central processing unit (CPU) to the accelerator device.
