The untold reality is ….when your Web application on the DMZ hits the Internet… the colorful performance graphs/numbers does’nt mean anything !  Unless your performance guru in the lab captured the QoS requirements and realized it proactively and accounted its actual overheads associated with Security, Network bandwidth, High-availability and other mission-critical requirements.  Otherwise…performance is the nagging issue that every datacenter guy gnaws…. when an application bloats up with its cryptograhic shields such as SSL  and WS-Security and then goes into production.   If you are one of them in the datacenter, who is pulling the hair out on Security performance issues and compelled to meet the SLA including IT Security and compliance requirements mandating the use of cryptography for securing the exposed application layers  – transport, data and network – Then this Sun solution blueprint should help you for accelerating the real-world performance of Java EE based Web applications (especially Oracle Weblogic) delivering Security ground-up and all WITHOUT  your performance engineer help   🙂

No magic or surprises – The Sun CMT server features On-chip Cryptography and multi-threaded 10GbE networking out of the box – No kidding! If you are curious to know more or seize the power of your Sun CMT servers for security, take a look at the blueprint and also take a look at my previous post highlighting our presentation at Oracle Open World –  Wire-speed Cryptographic Acceleration for SOA and Java EE Security.
