Varnish Enterprise

Innovate, Accelerate

Varnish Enterprise is software that makes it easy to accelerate digital interactions, handle more traffic, protect infrastructure and reduce costs.

It deploys anywhere, on any platform, and is adaptable to every content delivery challenge that needs more power at the edge.

Most importantly, Varnish Enterprise gives back control over how, when and where digital content gets delivered.

Seamless Delivery from Origin to Edge

Blazingly Fast Interactions

Varnish Enterprise is extraordinarily capable.

Whether it’s web delivery, API acceleration, streaming, origin protection, application delivery or edge computing, Varnish delivers blazingly fast interactions and supports more traffic with fewer resources.

In terms of performance benchmarks, think:

< 1 ms cache responses

Over 1 Tbps  video throughput per edge server

10x reduction in backend load

Fast Interactions

Massive Storage Engine

Cost-Effective Cache Persistence and Resilience

Massive Storage Engine (MSE) is powerful object storage, fully integrated into Varnish Enterprise. It combines the speed of memory with the persistence of disk, with integrity checks and error handling to mitigate downtime. MSE is ideal for optimal caching of large data sets, like video, metadata and DevOps artifacts. 

Cache persistence. Avoid time-consuming cache reloads, enable greater speed and reliability.

Increased cache hits. A fair eviction strategy automatically evicts the least-accessed objects when required, while minimizing competition for storage.

Faster object retrieval. Fragmentation-proof allocation means each object is stored in one place.

Better disaster recovery. Distribute caches across different storage devices or warm caches separately.

Varnish Cache to Varnish Enterprise

Open-Source Born, Enterprise Raised

Built on top of the famous open-source reverse proxy Varnish Cache, Varnish Enterprise extends Varnish technology to enable enterprise-grade low-latency, high-throughput delivery.

Exceptional performance and features like disk caching, backend TLS, high availability and a UI are vital to mission-critical web services.

Migrating to Enterprise is a rewarding progression for growing web services, who get the performance and optimization they need to scale up cost-effectively.

Varnish Configuration Language

Run Edge Compute at Light Speed

Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) is Varnish’s secret weapon.

It's edge logic that runs inside Varnish and controls request handling, routing, caching, and more.

Apply logic to every HTTP transaction to ensure consistent experiences for end-users and maximum efficiency for caching operations.

VCL is very, very fast. Executing in microseconds, it gets transpiled to C instead of interpreted at runtime.

Varnish is Content Delivery Software

Deploy Content Delivery, Anywhere

While Varnish Enterprise is not a commercial CDN, many leading commercial CDNs are built on Varnish, and it’s the software of choice for building private and hybrid CDN services.

Varnish is about transforming digital platforms to unlock latency-free interactions at any scale.

It’s about putting the edge wherever you need it, and breaking free from the network to support vast numbers of transactions from fewer resources.

Why is Varnish so powerful?
