The policy rules and encryption requirements underlying most VPNs can also seriously reduce system throughput. In addition, even some of the top-ranked VPN solutions fall short in the area of concurrent sessions. Companies that count on the financial rewards of extending their internal network to distributors or suppliers, for example, need a VPN with the capacity to support many thousands of users simultaneously. The patented RapidCore network security processor makes it possible for RapidStream to eliminate the speed and capacity shortcomings common to other security systems with VPN components. These features allow RapidStream solutions to deliver significant security and performance benefits to corporate networks.
Security is enhanced and remains robust even under sustained high traffic loads.
The main CPU and system bus are the primary bottlenecks in current security and VPN system architecture. Latency of RapidStream solutions is measured in microseconds, not milliseconds. RapidStream systems can handle large security policy rule lists without degrading network performance. While individual products support different throughputs and capacities, all RapidStream products share the same complement of software features ensuring strong security throughout a network infrastructure. All RapidStream products are also interoperable with other IPSec-compliant devices, and none requires restrictive user licenses.
