Content Switching Module with SSL
This module combines advanced Layer 4–7 content
switching capabilities with Secure Sockets Layer
acceleration, freeing backend servers from the
CPU-intensive task of processing SSL transactions.
• High-speed content switching provides load balancing,
increases performance, ensures connection persistence,
and helps maximize uptime for application and Web
servers, caches, firewalls, and other devices.
• End-to-end encryption with intelligent load balancing
ensures information on the network never appears as
clear text.
• Reduces the number of SSL devices needed and
reduces the number of certificates that a site requires
to purchase and manage, lowering both capital and
operating expenses.
• Combines content switching and SSL acceleration
in a single chassis slot, freeing up space for other
integrated services.
Content Switching Module
This module adds advanced, high-performance Layer
4–7 content switching and load balancing to existing
Layer 2 and 3 features of the Catalyst 6500 switches,
reducing application response times, optimizing service
delivery, increasing application time, and increasing
service scalability for servers, firewalls, VPN devices, SSL
termination devices, and caches.
• Supports a wide range of common IP protocols,
including TCP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and
higher-level protocols, including Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Telnet,
Domain Name System (DNS), Real-Time Streaming
Protocol (RTSP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP).
• Reduces the cost and complexity of deploying content
switching services by allowing for integration into
existing infrastructure.
• Fault-tolerant configurations to provide improved
application uptime, utilizing both connection and sticky
state redundancy for seamless failover.
• Ability to integrate content switching services into an
existing infrastructure minimizes the time and resources
required for deployment.
• High-density, scalable platform with proven reliability
offers unparalleled investment protection.
