Array Networks has announced the immediate availability of its new mid-range APV3600 and APV3650 application delivery controllers (ADC).
2048-bit SSL encryption, the new APV Series appliances, supports up to 25,000 2048-bit SSL transactions per second (TPS) and delivers the lowest cost per SSL TPS on the market.
First introduced in 2011 as a more secure alternative to 1024-bit SSL, 2048-bit SSL encryption is today the standard for all certificate-issuing authorities. While more secure than the previous standard, 2048-bit SSL is five times more compute-intensive. In the mid-range, where ADCs commonly supported 25,000 1024-bit SSL TPS, the appliances now support only 5000 SSL TPS for the newer 2048-bit standard.
“One of Array’s primary competitive advantages and market differentiators is superiority in all facets of SSL secure transaction processing,” said Michael Zhao, President and CEO of Array Networks.
“With the new APV3600 and APV3650 products, Array has set an even higher standard of scalability, security and price-performance for service provider and customers that are either migrating to or scaling 2048-bit SSL encryption,” he added.
