SSL Acceleration
Riverbed Accelerates SSL Encrypted Traffic
Riverbed extends its award winning application acceleration capability to SSL traffic by providing end-to-end secure traffic acceleration. Prior to this breakthrough, traffic from encrypted web applications wasn't "visible" to Steelhead appliances and passed through untouched; no attempt was made to optimize or accelerate that encrypted traffic.
In order to apply application acceleration and WAN optimization techniques to SSL traffic, the data and protocols must be visible, which means they must be decrypted on both sides of a WAN, yet remain encrypted while traversing all three segments of a given connection: from the server to the server-side WAN optimization appliance, between the two WAN optimization appliances across the WAN, and from the client-side WAN optimization appliance to the client. Furthermore, the management of SSL certificates and private keys must be done in the data center to maintain security.
Maintains the Centralized Trust Model IT Architects Demand
Riverbed has introduced an innovative, patent-pending approach to accelerating SSL traffic across the WAN. One that doesn't break the centralized trust model favored by security architects. Riverbed's solution is complementary to many existing SSL Offload solutions (see below on the differences). Despite SSL offload vendors (also known as Application Front End or AFE) describing their products as "SSL Acceleration" solutions, they are architecturally different from Riverbed's, and remain complementary.
The Steelhead appliances are deployed into enterprise infrastructure and become part of the trusted environment. Traffic is then decrypted, optimized with all of RiOS's streamlining capabilities, and re-encrypted on its way from one site to another. RiOS can also re-use recent SSL sessions for increased performance. All certificates and private keys are maintained in the data center, sustaining the centralized certificate-management approach favored by enterprise IT architects.
Simplified Set-up and Management of SSL Acceleration
RiOS SSL acceleration is easy to setup and manage. Features include auto-discovery of Steelhead appliance SSL peers and server IP addresses, support for digital certificate domain-level wildcards, and manageability improvements for administering trust relationships. These features simplify SSL acceleration across the enterprise to enable greater scalability and reduce administrative overhead.
By enabling traffic to be decrypted and re-encrypted in a safe manner, enterprises can accelerate SSL-encrypted applications without trading off security and performance.
