Britestream Introduces SSL Offload Solution for Linux Virtual Server Applications; SSL Offload Reduces Latency and Increases Customer Capacity in Data Center Application.AUSTIN, Texas -- Britestream(TM) Networks has dramatically reduced the latency of mission-critical Linux applications for Guardian Mobile Monitoring Systems, Inc. with the BN1200 SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. Offload network card. Immediate response and unbreakable SSL security are critical for Guardian, the leading provider of GPS-based, mobile monitoring solutions for the security alarm monitoring industry. Britestream's 100% SSL offload solution integrates seamlessly with Linux Virtual Server Linux Virtual Server (LVS) is an advanced load balancing solution for Linux systems. It is an open source project started by Wensong Zhang in May 1998. The mission of the project is to build a high-performance and highly available server for Linux using clustering to bring a new level of security, protection and performance for Guardian's deployments on Linux. "The Britestream BN1200 cards reduce the application latency in our load balanced application," said Devin Redlich, Customer Experience Team at Guardian Mobile Monitoring Systems. "This allows us to build out our application and maintain customer satisfaction as we bring more users online." For applications built to leverage Linux Virtual Server, Britestream hardware technology offers hardened security while improving application response time by offloading 100% of SSL processing. The Britestream BN1200 SSL Offload network card dramatically reduces application latency using its fast throughput -- 800 Mbps throughput (full duplex) for encrypted and pass-through transactions -- and load-balancing capabilities. The BN1200 can process up to 10,000 SSL transactions per second In a very generic sense, the term Transactions Per Second refers to the number of atomic actions performed by certain entity per second. In a more restrictied view, the term is usually used by DBMS vendor and user community to refer to the number of database transactions performed (1) while handling up to 100,000 simultaneous connections. The Britestream BN1200 SSL Offload network card integrates seamlessly with Linux Virtual Server, allowing organizations to build load balancing and redundancy into their application configurations. With Britestream's solution providing fortified security, highly secure web-based applications built on Linux can have SSL security enabled by default with no performance penalty.
