Benefits

  • Delivers cost-effective acceleration
  • Improves system performance
  • Lowers software costs
  • Integrates easily
 

Thales nFast, part of the nCipher product line, is a dedicated SSL hardware and easy interface for secure payment processing. It enables you to handle high volumes of secure transactions more cost-effectively.

The secure sockets layer (SSL) processing required for secure transactions makes extraordinary demands on your IT infrastructure. Ever-increasing drains on processing power lead to escalating costs for additional hardware, software licenses, and IT administration.

nFast helps you avoid those costs by accelerating and handling SSL processes. This reduces the need for additional hardware as well as the associated software licenses, enabling you to extend SSL protection to more processes at a lower cost.

Lower licensing costs
Reduces the need for additional CPUs or server software licenses to handle SSL workloads.

More resources for business applications
Accelerates SSL connection setups, making more computing power available for your business applications.

Ready for web services
Handles increasing demand for SSL traffic in service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments without adding servers or computing power.

Easy integration
nFast is standards-based for quick, cost-effective deployment. It also supports standard APIs and integrates out of the box with leading enterprise applications.
