Netli, a start-up based in Palo Alto, California, launched a new service that provides accelerated transport and application level optimization for SSL applications while maintaining end-to-end security. NetLightning SSL increases speed and availability of applications by applying a variety of transport and application level optimization techniques while requiring no changes to server, client or application. Acting as an HTTPS proxy, NetLightning SSL securely delivers applications end-to-end while ensuring that no traffic in the clear is transmitted during any portion of the communications between clients and origin servers. NetLightning SSL was developed in conjunction with nCipher to provide FIPS 140-2 Level-3 validated security and meet HIPPA, government, and financial security regulations. Trans-continental tests have shown performance improvements of 3x with the NetLightning SSL service.
Netli also announced several customer wins. These companies are using the NetLightning service for customer support portals, e-commerce and consumer marketing applications:
