- Customer
-
Accredited Chosun University was established in 1946. The university operates affiliated 7 high school, middle school, and college as well as medical and dental centers.
- Challenges
- Chosun University used to divide WAN and server farm sections in a web application firewall. We decided to divide internal and external network with deploying each web application firewall because end-users are increased and enhance a web security. Therefore, internal servers secure faculty and student information, academic administration, and signing up courses. Especially, high performance like throughput, SSL acceleration, and concurrent session is a key requirement to cover many students in the period to register courses.
- Solution
- While Chosun University is reviewing many products in web application firewall, they are reached to conclude WEBFRONT-K4200 to secure stable service with SSL encryption/decryption even though massive traffic are occurred.
It is possible to meet the requirement because WEBFRON-K series are planned to process SSL based on a SSL accelerator card. WEBFRONT-K series provide stable status to operating servers because it manages various certificates and keys on behalf of many servers. Also, performance elements like scalable interfaces as 16 10GbE ports, 8 Gbps throughput, and 12 million concurrent sessions are one of selecting reasons by customers.
- Benefits
- WEBFRONT-K deployed in front of internal server farms can be secured sensitive information like personal information and records of students. Since can support seamless service with security and encryptions under massive traffic pooling, the customer is fully satisfied.
