improved web access performance and security
Cache management includes two features:
-
Forward proxy: to accelerate and secure web browsing,
-
Reverse proxy: to secure and reduce the TCO for web-enabled applications.
secure web browsingOnly the IP address of the proxy is visible from the Internet, consequently this service allows
a session termination point between end-user workstations and Web servers. This ensures a single point of access, a single
point of control, end-user privacy management and centralized log management.
faster content deliveryThe
caching feature improves content delivery by off-loading Internet content (forward proxy) and by off-loading content from
the back-end servers (reverse proxy). The cache monitors end-users' traffic in order to deliver the requested Web resources
as fast as possible, with response time improved by up to 95% for web applications.
