(firmenpresse) - SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/14/12 -- Coyote Point Systems, a leading provider of and acceleration solutions, today announced that its Equalizer Series line of Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) now deliver a certified encrypted and accelerated solution for the Blackboard Learn™ platform. Equalizer ADC products now handle SSL offloading requirements for Blackboard Learn installations running version 9.1 Service Pack 8 (SP8).
Customers running Blackboard Learn 9.1 that have upgraded to SP8 can utilize Equalizer to provide both load balancing and eliminating the current requirement for separate solutions. By allowing Equalizer to provide and manage the encryption over the network users will experience a significant increase in server performance and application response time. This not only improves the overall experience but also allows more users to be supported on the current servers without compromising security or application response times.
As a Blackboard Signature Partner™, Coyote Point participated in Blackboard's beta program and conducted in-depth configuration and testing of the latest software release of Blackboard Learn with Equalizer to ensure customers achieve seamless compatibility and the highest level of performance. Previous methods of load balancing and securing a Blackboard Learn environment could be complicated and costly. Now, with Coyote Point's award-winning GUI, customers can quickly and easily enable SSL offloading and acceleration with the click of a mouse.
