Cotendo SSL Delivery

High-security delivery for static and dynamic content

The challenge

More websites use SSL to deliver content free of eavesdropping. Delivering secure content and Web services can increase latency, due to SSL-specific overhead and the need for more origin computational power, which can require greater hardware investment and costly and complex scaling options.

Cotendo’s answer

Cotendo's SSL Delivery serves all SSL content, including cacheable (static) and dynamic SSL content. This accelerates content delivery to end users and reduces the load on origin servers.

Features and benefits

Support of full range of SSL certificates

Cotendo SSL gives you flexibility in how you configure your secure delivery channel. Cotendo accepts SSL certificates acquired from most certificate authorities and self-signed customer-generated certificates. Cotendo also offers shared-certificates for many basic needs.

Less time and hassle with easy and flexible deployment

Cotendo SSL is easy to deploy. Simply upload your certificate via Cotendo’s unified Web-based management interface and answer a few straightforward configuration questions. Deployments require no changes to your Web architecture.

Reduced load on your origin servers

Serving static content directly from the Cotendo CDN decreases the load on your origin servers, and using Cotendo SSL in conjunction with Cotendo DSA can reduce origin server loads even further.

Greater security for you, the content provider, through Cotendo’s best practices

Cotendo’s solution, which is PCI compliant and certified, follows rigorous process and software design best practices to maintain the security of content, information and transactions moving through the Cotendo Content Delivery. This includes routine security audits and protection of your secure information.

Real-time reporting for unmatched transparency

Cotendo Real Time Reporting gives you real-time insight into content usage, including easy differentiation of SSL traffic from non-SSL traffic and dynamic content from static content.

Sophisticated real-time control for content providers

When combined with Cotendo's cache views mechanism, the solution allows content providers to define different SSL certificates and caching policies across object groups.
