Technical features of
caching systems
Efficient Use of Low-Cost Hardware
Automatically compresses Web pages for faster
delivery to browsers and reduced bandwidth
expenditures
Caches static Web content, including:
Text (HTML, XML, CSS, etc.), Images (GIF, JPEG, etc.),
Audio, Video, Java Applets
Caches dynamic Web content, including:
JSPs, Servlets, ASPs, CGI, Python, PHP, ColdFusion,
etc.
Pages with cookies, personalized attributes, session-
encoded URLs, requests with URL and POST body
parameters
Technical features of
caching systems
Provides partial-page caching and page assembly
for personalized applications based on open
Edge Side Includes (ESI) and Edge Side Includes
for Java (JESI) standard markup languages
Provides order-of-magnitude performance
improvement for Web-based applications
Ideal for accelerating catalogs, auctions,
exchanges, enterprise portals, packaged or
home-grown CRM and ERP applications, business
intelligence tools, Web services and syndicated
content, wireless-enabled applications, and
Internet-facing Web sites
Technical features of
caching systems
Cache Control
Administrator-defined caching policies allow
advanced caching and routing decisions based on
HTTP header information, including cookies and
session-encoded URLs
developers can set caching policies within
application logic, making the content self-
describing and reducing the number of
configuration steps required to deploy the cache
HTTP-based invalidation message model allows
expiration and validation policies provide ways for
ensuring content freshness
Technical features of
caching systems
Flexible Deployments
deployment on the same node (or nodes) as the
application Web server(s), or on dedicated hardware.
heterogeneous environments works seamlessly
with third-party HTTP servers, application servers,
databases, content management systems, and
content delivery network services
deployment behind a third-party network load
balancing device distributed, hierarchical
deployments often called Enterprise Content
Delivery Network (eCDN) deployments enabling
enterprises to distribute cached content to the edge
of the network (branch offices, remote sites) and
nearer to end users
Nuts and bolts of Web
Caching
Cant cache everything problem
Solved by ESI (Edge side include)
is the programming language
used universally for caching
systems

Business benefits of
caching systems
Resource usage higher throughput and
scalability
User experience faster response times without
sacrificing personalization / customization
Availability intelligent workload management
Productivity faster time-to-market
Bottom line reduced infrastructure load = cost
savings
Intelligence better visibility and end-user
service levels

Doyou have any Questions?
What about the future?

Intelligence
Pattern Guessing
Server Subscription
Similar to DCHP
Evolution
of ESI
Refinement of Heuristics
Industry Trends
More universal / open
on heterogeneous platforms
Oracle 10g can work
with BEA, IBM, etc. etc.

future inventions you
foresee with web caching?
