You have a website 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, not just software configurations. In addition, SSL sessions should use the hardware components in the device to create the sessions.

Which type of device should you use to accomplish this?

answer

Proxy server

Content switch

Bandwidth shaper

Circuit$-$level gateway
