What is OracleAS Web Cache?

OracleAS Web Cache accelerates static and dynamic content delivery. When placed in front of an HTTP server, OracleAS Web Cache can return cached pages to clients, reducing the load on back-end HTTP servers, application servers, and databases. OracleAS Web Cache uses caching, invalidation, compression, and assembly technologies to speed the delivery of static and dynamic Web pages. Deploying OracleAS Web Cache before a farm of application Web servers enables cache clustering, request throttling, surge protection, and Web server load balancing. These features ensure application performance, scalability and availability, and help lower the cost of conducting business online.
