This Sun BluePrints article provides an overview of how to offload cryptographic operations onto Sun servers with CoolThreads technology to accelerate IBM HTTP Server (IHS) performance. Provided in Sun servers with UltraSPARC T1, T2, or T2 Plus processors, on-chip cryptographic acceleration eliminates the need for additional co-processor cards, special licensing, network appliances, or power hungry add-on components. As a result, deploying Sun servers with CoolThreads technology in HTTP environments can help reduce system overhead, improve performance, and increase overall computing and network efficiency by improving responsiveness across the entire solution.
