Server accelerator
 
The appliance can be configured as a web server to accelerate slower 
traditional web servers. Documents stored in cache are served at high speed, 
while documents not in cache are requested on demand from slower, 
traditional web servers. This 
 
server accelerator
 
 feature is also called 
 
reverse 
proxy
 
.
 
Part of an HTTP cache hierarchy
 
The appliance can participate in flexible cache hierarchies, where Internet 
requests not fulfilled in one cache can be routed to other regional caches, 
taking advantage of the of nearby caches.
 
ICP sibling 
 
The appliance supports the standard Internet Cache Protocol (ICP) to 
interoperate with existing ICP cache hierarchies. The appliance can send ICP 
queries to neighboring caches as part of an ICP cache hierarchy.
 
NNTP news cache
 
The appliance caches and serves NNTP news articles and can accept news 
feeds for designated news groups. 
 
Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance features
 
The appliance provides a rich set of features to ensure high performance and 
superior stability and to offer broad flexibility. The following list provides a brief 
overview of the appliance’s primary features. For a more exhaustive list and 
description of features, refer to

Scalability
 
The appliance scales from a single node into multiple-node 
 
clusters
 
, allowing 
you to improve system performance and reliability simply by adding more 
nodes to your cluster. Support exists for two types of clusters: 
 
soft clustering
 
 
and 
 
management-only clustering
 
. For more information on clustering, see

Boot Image Redundancy
 
The appliance features both a primary and secondary boot image on separate 
hard drives. When a drive with a boot image fails, a system administrator can 
detect and replace the faulty hard drive. This feature helps maximize the time 
your system is up and running uninterrupted.
