Offloading SSL to ZXTM

ZXTM can be used to perform SSL decryption on behalf of your network services. Offloading CPU intensive processing such as SSL and XML frees up application servers such as BEA WebLogic™ and IBM Websphere™ to do their own specialist tasks, greatly enhancing their performance and return on investment. Because ZXTM uses Zeus Technology's own SSL implementation in combination with US Government-approved RSA cryptographic libraries, the price / performance ratio offered is unequalled by any other SSL solution, as testified by Zeus' dominance of the industry-standard SPECweb99_SSL benchmarks.

What are the difficulties associated with handling SSL transactions? 

Ensuring the security of Internet traffic using SSL connections can quickly cripple a server's performance because of math-intensive encryption and decryption calculations. Servers that can handle hundreds or thousands of ordinary connections per second slow to a crawl when serving SSL connections. Having bursts or peaks in Internet usage can compound the problem exponentially. ZXTM will alleviate these difficulties by taking over the SSL processing with its efficient and cost-effective process architecture.

Does ZXTM support 64-bit processors? 

Certain hardware has been optimized specifically to provide an extra boost to performance when dealing with the complex computations associated with SSL transactions. ZXTM takes full advantage of these SSL optimizations and is available in 64-bit as well as 32-bit editions.
