Cisco 11000 Series Secure Content Accelerator (SCA 11000)
Cisco 11000 Series Secure Content Accelerator
(SCA 11000)
The Cisco 11000 Series Secure Content Accelerator (SCA 11000) is an appliance-based
solution that increases the number of secure connections supported by a Web site by
offloading the processor-intensive tasks related to securing traffic with SSL. Available in
two versions, the SCA 11000 simplifies security management and allows Web servers to
process more requests for content and handle more e-transactions.
Key Features
• Offloads all encryption, decryption, and secure process for a Web site, freeing Web
servers to perform essential Web tasks and eliminating the need for SSL server software
• Boosts e-commerce site performance up to 50 times through dedicated SSL processing
hardware—supports 200 or 800 new SSL connections per second
• Centralizes and manages the widest range of digital certificates to ensure complete
independence from the Web server
• Provides linear scalability and fault tolerance—interoperates with the Cisco 11500
series Content Services Switches (CSS 11500) for intelligent load balancing of SSL
traffic
• Works with any Web server platform to provide SSL support for any Web site
• Installs quickly and easily with very low maintenance—no special software required
on Web servers or Cisco 11500 series switches
