Using Spirent's WebAvalanche, the RS9800 was able to process peak loads of 10,000 transactions per second, with throughput maxing out the 1-GB link that provides client-to-server connectivity. After enabling compression, the same test run achieved peak loads of 10,000 transactions per second, but used only 650 Mbps of the 1-GB link. Average transactions per second increased from just over 5,000 to more than 6,000 with compression enabled.
Quick and Secure
Enabling SSL is a snap--just check the box. SSL configuration, however, requires no less than four steps and more knowledge of SSL than the average admin possesses. The advantage to this is control, but the uninitiated may find the process discouraging.
The RS9800's SureConnect feature is still excellent, but as the GUI has grown up, the SureConnect configuration process has become more complex. For both SureConnect and SSL feature configuration, I'd suggest a quick trip back to the CLI (command-line interface); it's cleaner and easier to deal with than the GUI.
