|
||
<div><p>A company's system handles thousands of secured Internet transactions per
|
||
day. The company's transactions utilize the Secure Sockets layer and Transport
|
||
Layer Security protocols (SSL and TLS) – a common method for securing Internet
|
||
transactions. This company's system administrator, Sue, wants to free up server
|
||
resources for additional application processing, including the ability to
|
||
support even more SSL transactions. Sue is looking for a solution that fits
|
||
these objectives:</p>
|
||
<ul><li>A sizeable increase in the available server resources for application
|
||
processing, including additional SSL transactions</li>
|
||
<li>Minimal installation and configuration effort</li>
|
||
<li>Minimal resource management requirements</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Based on these objectives, Sue orders and installs an IBM<sup>®</sup> 2058 e-Business
|
||
Cryptographic Accelerator. (hereafter referred to as a 2058 Cryptographic
|
||
Accelerator). The 2058 Cryptographic Accelerator is a PCI (Peripheral Component
|
||
Interconnect) card, which is specially designed to accelerate the very compute
|
||
intensive processing required when establishing a SSL/TLS session. You can
|
||
obtain the IBM
|
||
2058 Cryptographic Accelerator by ordering hardware feature code 4805.</p>
