Q

You have a Web site that uses multiple servers for different types of transactions. For example, one server is
responsible for static Web content, while another is responsible for secure transactions.
You would like to implement a device to speed up access to your Web content. The device should be able to
distribute requests between the various Web servers using specialized hardware and not just a software
configuration. In addition, SSL sessions should use the hardware components in the device to create the SSL
sessions.
Which type of device should you choose?
