Whether it's brief exchanges of username, password and credit card information, or long lived sessions containing financial accounts or medical records, most web sites today involve the transmission of sensitive data. Confidentiality for this sensitive information is provided by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), encrypting data passed between the client and the server over the Internet safely and securely. While transparent to clients from any Web-browser, the cryptography and processing of SSL transactions puts a heavy burden on Web server resources, resulting in sluggish performance, reduced productivity, and lost customers. SSL data encryption also makes it impossible for load balancers and content switches to intelligently manage and direct client requests, reducing their effectiveness and breaking Web-based transactions. Adding more servers to handle the burden is a costly proposition, increasing overhead and administration with no scalability or manageability as the Web site continues to grow.
SonicWALL SSL Offloaders dramatically increase the performance of mission-critical applications and Web sites by completely and transparently offloading the burden of SSL encryption, decryption and secure processes from servers. Installing easily into any production network and integrating seamlessly with secure content networking hardware, SonicWALL SSL Offloaders free up valuable server resources while delivering unmatched security and scalability, at a fraction of the cost compared to other solutions.
