I wouldn't normally play marketeer but since you asked did you look at 
this product ?   Either way I'd be interested in your view on it.

http://www.sun.com/products/networking/sslaccel/suncryptoaccel6000/index.xml

Please ignore the "sslaccel" in the URL this card doesn't know anything 
about SSL it is a pure Crypto accelerator and keystore with a FIPS 140-2 
@ Level certification.  Support on Solaris, OpenSolaris, RHEL 5 and SuSE 10.

It has the ability to have centralised key management and shared 
keystores (within and across machines).

It even has Eliptic Curve support available.
