Solution Overview

nCipher’s nForce and nShield hardware security products have been tested to fully interoperate with the Sun SPARC Solaris™ and Sun Solaris™ Intel environments. This ensures that nCipher products will be easy-to-install and provide complete graphical user interface compatibility with Solaris systems.

To earn the “Solaris™ Ready” logo, nCipher products successfully completed a series of rigorous laboratory tests to ensure their compliance with Solaris standards.

Enhance Security, Scalability and Manageability with nForce™ and nShield™

By installing nForce or nShield in the Sun SPARC Solaris and Sun Solaris Intel systems, organizations can:

• Secure online services and private keys in highly secure hardware that meets the widely recognized FIPS 140-1, Level 2 or Level 3 security benchmark.
• Enhance server performance with powerful acceleration capabilities. nForce and nShield eliminate potential SSL and other bottlenecks arising from intensive cryptographic processes before they become a problem.
• Expand server processing capacity. Adding nForce or nShield to a secure Web server can yield a 20-fold increase in processing capacity – without purchasing additional expensive servers.
• Build scalability into a secure infrastructure. Both nForce and nShield are modular, allowing organizations to add capacity to meet growing SSL processing demands or handle unexpected surges in Web site activity.
• Improve manageability. With nForce and nShield, organizations can establish responsibilities and authority within the organization and across teams to manage a multitude of digital keys throughout an infrastructure.
