We're evaluating SSL acceleration for our web servers and the product currently up to bat is the Array 500TX. With this device we can offload the SSL processing from the origin servers. However, while testing the evaluation unit we're discovering that there's a lot more to this than simply loading the certs and keys onto the box and turning it on.
For example, it may be that we have to rewrite portions of the code on our site to make it compatible with this solution. There are also changes required on the web servers themselves to make them play nicely with the Array box. I'm wondering if any of you have implemented SSL accleration (with anyone's product) and what gotchas you might have run into. I'm almost to the point of dropping the idea of SSL acceleration and simply suggesting that we add more servers! :-) That's by far the simplest solution and doesn't require any changes to our existing code or configurations. We simply plug the server into our existing load balancing switch and, with a small tweak of that config, we're off and running. Any thoughts?
