What is AX Connection Reuse?

Connection Reuse reduces the overhead associated with TCP connection setup, by establishing TCP connections with Blackboard Application Servers and then reusing those connections for multiple client requests. Connection Reuse significantly increases the responsiveness of the Blackboard Application Servers. This results in better Blackboard server performance and in improved scalability for production infrastructures.

The AX Series can enhance client access by enabling HTTPS/SSL traffic for incoming requests.
