Hardware Acceleration with Cavium Devices

(Bivio 7000 appliances only)

If a Bivio 7000 appliance is fitted with Cavium CN1615 Security Processor cards, the NBA offloads the computationally expensive cryptographic operations to the Cavium device, freeing the Bivio CPUs from these operations and thereby maintaining high performance.

The NBA console on Bivio 7000 appliances contains an SSL Decode Statistics page which shows whether the hardware or software decoder is being used.
