Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of the Intel® NetStructure™ 7110/
7115 e-Commerce Accelerator. The processing of secure transactions
through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) can occupy up to 90% of even the
largest servers’ CPU power and can degrade response time
significantly. The 7110/7115 provides a completely transparent way
to increase the performance of Web sites for SSL transactions. The
7110/7115 is positioned in front of the server farm, where it intercepts
SSL transactions, processes them, and relays them to the servers. The
7110/7115 performs all encryption and decryption management in
this environment with a minimum of administrator interaction.
