jetNEXUS Enterprise Range Features: SSL Offload
High performance SSL termination can remove the overhead of CPU intensive encryption from your web servers, allowing them to spend more time and resource on other tasks.
How does SSL Offload work?
In conjunction with connection control, SSL Offload works by terminating SSL (https) requests at the load balancer, rather than at the server, massively reducing the performance impact on the server pool.
According to Independent body Broadband Testing, https traffic can generate 10 times more load on the server than regular http traffic. With this in mind, SSL Offload not only dramatically enhances server performance, but also in some cases enables server consolidation for a cost effect and efficient solution.

jetNEXUS Enterprise Range SSL Offload Features:
High-performance software SSL stack optimized for x86 and SPARC processors
SSL decryption and back-end encryption for end-to-end security
Allows traffic management intelligence and load balancing to be applied to encrypted traffic
Support for selected FIPS 140-2 compliant tamper-proof key management devices
Centralised certificate management - All SSL certificates can be stored on the appliance to simplify sometimes unorganized and disparate SSL certificate management
Auto generation of certificate requests - The jetNEXUS SSL implementation can automatically generate certificate requests. This request can simply be sent to an Authority and they can issue the appropriate certificate.
