Transparent Cache Switching
Transparent cache switching overview
Cache servers process web queries faster and more efficiently by temporarily storing details about
repetitive web queries locally, thereby reducing the number of external inquiries required to
process a web query. The Brocade ServerIron ADX utilizes transparent cache switching (TCS) to
distribute traffic among multiple cache servers in a local network
The Brocade ServerIron ADX application delivery controllers increase the reliability of provider’s
cache infrastructure, and transparently redirect client queries to a cache farm to improve response
time and overall efficiency.
ServerIron ADX supports transparent cache switching for both IPv4 and IPv6 cache servers.
