Varnish Edge Cloud:
How it works
Varnish Edge Cloud
Deploys to MEC environment, with flexible placement of virtualized edge caching components across:
- Custom PoPs and edge servers
- And between 5G base stations
- Telco cloud data centers
- Virtualized base stations
Also deploys to network aggregation sites and core network, on cloud, VM, container and
bare metal infrastructure.
Edge caching
With Varnish Edge Cloud you can cache high-quality video content, allowing you to serve it with ~200Gbps throughout and high-speed TLS (transport layer security).
Multi-terabyte edge storage
Efficient caching of 100 TB of data on each virtualized node, plus cache persistence.
Clustering and High Availability
Replicate content across elastic Varnish edge nodes to protect core network and minimize backhaul.
Streaming
~200Gbps capacity and 100K person concurrency on each edge node for seamless live OTT and VoD streaming at a massive scale.
Flexible edge computing
Real-time execution of edge logic for routing traffic and delivering superior digital experiences. This is achieved by personalizing content for bitrate, device, location and more.
Security
Total protection against bad traffic, including built-in WAF (web application firewall), front and backend TLS (transport layer security), cache encryption, bot detection, rate limiting and origin shield.
5G / MEC content delivery
with Varnish Edge Cloud
Varnish Edge Cloud in action
Intel, Varnish and VMware in partnership
We’ve partnered with Intel and VMWare to spec out an implementation of Varnish Edge Cloud that sees it delivering ~200Gbps video content with high QoE from a single server in a virtualized environment.
