SSL SERVICES MODULE FOR THE
CISCO CATALYST 6500 SERIES AND CISCO 7600 SERIES

The SSL Service Module is an integrated service module for the Cisco

Catalyst

6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series

Internet Routers that offloads processor-intensive tasks related to securing traffic with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),

increases the number of secure connections supported by a Web site, and reduces the operational complexity of high-

performance, Web server farms.

KEY FEATURES OF THE SSL SERVICE MODULE INCLUDE:

•

Server SSL offload—performs all SSL-related tasks, allowing servers to handle high-speed clear text traffic

•

Scalable performance—provides a simple means of addressing increased performance requirements by installing

additional SSL modules in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 switch

•

Stickiness—maintains persistence even when clients request new session IDs, in Integrated Mode with Content Switching

Module (CSM)

•

Certificate optimization—provides cost savings by requiring only a single certificate copy vs. a copy for each server

subject to customer and certificate authority agreement

•

Backend encryption—SSL Module offers end to end security by also encrypting the communication between Module and

servers as well.

Up to four SSL service modules can be installed in each chassis providing the fastest SSL session setup rates and bulk

encrypted throughput in the industry and supporting the highest number of concurrent connections:

•

3000 connection setups/second per module—10,000 per Chassis fully-populated with SSL modules

•

300 Mbps bulk encrypted throughput per chassis module—1.2 Gbps per fully-populated with SSL modules

•

64,000 concurrent client connections—256,000 per chassis fully-populated with SSL modules

The SSL Service Module offloads all SSL processing, allowing the end Web and eCommerce servers to process more requests

for content and handle more e-transactions—providing a multifold increase in the performance of eCommerce and secure sites

using encryption.
