MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Andes Networks, provider of ASIC-based web security products, today announced a new generation of SSL acceleration appliances. Setting a new price/performance bar for the industry, these products feature custom ASICs and an innovative per packet processing technology called Packetized SSL(TM) to scale SSL processing performance in multiple categories. Packetized SSL technology allows Andes to deliver not only the industry's highest SSL connection per second performance, but also the best bulk encryption throughput, the most active session and the fastest RSA exponentiation performance. The result is a unique family of SSL traffic accelerator solutions ideally suited for all types of web traffic. "At a time when successful companies are embracing the web to securely connect remote employees, customers and strategic business partners to critical corporate resources and applications, new demands are being placed on network infrastructure not met by conventional SSL acceleration solutions," said Dave Martin, Director of Marketing at Andes Networks. "The PSSL family of web security accelerators better matches the performance level of today's high performance switches and routers to reduce costs, guarantee the scalability of SSL traffic and the availability of mission critical business systems."
