SSL acceleration is critical to enterprise competition
The world today is connected in more ways than ever. In order to keep up with the acceleration of the speed of doing business, enterprises must provide access to corporate information for customer, partners and employees. The need to protect sensitive enterprise data while in transit has never been greater. The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) arose as the standard in security for protecting the exchange of data. Yet this process can be extremely processor intensive, eating up valuable network resources and slowing productivity. nCipher SSL acceleration hardware are proven solutions for improving the speed of these processes and freeing up server capacity. SSL acceleration involves off-loading public key encryption algorithms to a hardware accelerator. To learn more about nCipher SSL acceleration solutions click here.
nCipher delivers powerful SSL acceleration technology
With nCipher SSL acceleration products, enterprises can easily offload processing to secure more server capacity, lowering the cost of security infrastructure by reducing the need for more servers. nCipher offers several SSL acceleration PCI cards that help promote enterprise-wide use of Secure Sockets Layer security.
nCipher nFast Offload Cards replace a server's NIC to handle all SSL processing from the application. Because the Offload PCI card was designed to be a drop-in solution for nearly any server platform, integration is simple and requires no cryptographic APIs to support. nFast SSL Accelerator is a PCI card that speeds operations by process asymmetric cryptography that can otherwise create bottlenecks in network performance. Designed to support a broad number of operating systems and APIs, nFast allows enterprises to cost-effectively improve the performance of Web servers
nCipher nForce is a tamper-resistant SSL Offload Card the helps protect the cryptographic keys that SSL technology depends upon. Complying with the FIPS 140-2 standard, nForce helps eliminate the burden of handling SSL security in any environment, decrypting SSL traffic as it arrives and passing it to the host, while encrypting and passing back traffic to the network where Secure Sockets Layer protection is necessary. The nForce card has been designed to deliver market-leading acceleration performance, providing up to ten thousand transactions per second and delivering an on-going throughput rate of 300MB full duplex.
Beyond SSL and TLS acceleration — products for identity management and data protection
nCipher also offers leading solutions for data privacy, encryption, key management system software, PKI integration, and time stamp technology.
