SpiderCache RP (Reverse Proxy)

SpiderCache RP is a Reverse Proxy multi-function application that is intended for customers that want the application running on a stand-alone box. SpiderCache RP can be part of a cluster of SpiderCaches (both locally and across the enterprise).

When part of a cluster, SpiderCache RP can act as a parent and manage other SpiderCache RP and SpiderCache Node applications that are installed on the same segment or remotely.

SpiderCache RP offers compression and SSL offloading as configuration options.

SpiderCache RP Node

SpiderCache Node is similar functionally to SpiderCache RP. It acts as a fully functional Reverse Proxy, but only as a child of a SpiderCache RP application. SpiderCache Node cannot be configured independently.

SpiderCache RP Lite

SpiderCache RP Lite is a stand-alone Reverse Proxy application. It is intended for customers that want a stand-alone application. SpiderCache Lite cannot be part of a cluster of SpiderCaches.

SpiderCache Enterprise

SpiderCache Enterprise is a plugin solution for web applications. It does not require additional hardware, and the plugins reside on the web servers themselves. SpiderCache Enterprise consists of two modules:

  1. SpiderCache Central Manager
    SpiderCache Manager manages one or more SpiderCache Plug Ins. By using more than one Central Manager, redundancy can be achieved.
  2. SpiderCache Plug In
    SpiderCache Plug Ins bolts onto the web server and manages the web server’s response for content.
