Publication date: Monday, 23 May 2005

Test Highlights the Tremendous Benefits of Britestream’s SSL Offload Solution

AUSTIN, Texas – May 23, 2005 - Britestream Networks, the premier provider of 100 percent SSL offload solutions, today announced that its product has successfully completed a series of independent benchmarking tests performed by VeriTest, the testing division of Lionbridge (Nasdaq: LIOX). The Britestream SSL NIC was benchmarked against SSL running in S/W in both Windows and Linux environments across several key lengths.

Results of the VeriTest study verify that the Britestream NIC produced the following results:

* Britrestream’s solution provides 100% SSL offload with dramatically improved CPU utilization.
* Britestream provides a scalable solution with the ability to work with various key lengths.

“The independent testing performed by VeriTest validates not only our industry-leading performance”, said Bob Weinschenk, CEO of Britestream, “but more importantly it highlights the reasons why we are leaders in the SSL market. Our ability to enable SSL security across any operating system, on any platform, using any key size, for any application is unparalleled within the industry.”

VeriTest demonstrated the high quality and high performance of the Britestream SSL NIC, by using Ziff Davis Media's WebBench 5.0 benchmark application to facilitate the test. WebBench measures how different hardware systems perform as Web servers, as well as measures Web server throughput performance.

"As an industry leader Britestream understands the value of working with VeriTest as an independent organization that has the recognized expertise and methodology," said Katrina Teague, Vice President Marketing and Market Testing Operations, VeriTest. "Working with VeriTest not only provides the Britestream developers and engineers with information to assure the highest levels of quality, it also allows their sales and marketing teams to provide customers with hard facts about how their product will perform in various environments."

The Britestream solution is the world’s first SSL/TLS security NIC that is completely self-contained and manages all facets of SSL/TLS processing on a single PCI card. It is a groundbreaking new concept that's resetting the bar for Internet security. By processing data in real time directly in the network stream, Britestream technology handles secure data—completely, autonomously and transparently—freeing up systems to handle the tasks they were designed for. The solution couples plug-and-play simplicity and uncompromised performance with fortified protection.
