Product Overview
The Secure Content Accelerator is a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) offloading solution.
You can secure a server for testing purposes immediately using a pre-loaded default
key and certificate rather than wait up to a week for your key and certificate to arrive.
Simply load your own certificate and key when they are available.
The Cisco 11000 Series Secure Content Accelerator is compatible with all Cisco
content switches—the Cisco LocalDirector, the Catalyst Content Switching Module,
and the Cisco CSS 11000 Series Content Services Switches.
