Varnish Plus for Academia helps academic institutions deliver digital content reliably and at scale within internal networks and their various access control systems with full professional support.
“With academic institutions focused on educational content delivery, distance education and elearning, they must be able to create and distribute digital content both interactively and globally, using on-demand and live streaming within campus networks,” said Per Buer, founder and CTO of Varnish Software. “Varnish Plus for Academia gives colleges and universities the tools they need to meet the challenges of these new content delivery requirements.”
Built on top of open source , Varnish Plus for Academia includes:
— Varnish allows an almost unlimited number of concurrent users to access a website or digital content while also allowing universities and colleges to reduce the number of web servers they require.
— Varnish provides granular access control, which gives academic users the freedom to create layers of access permission for digital content delivery without sacrificing high speed delivery, even when the content is protected and only made available to authorized users.
— Varnish High Availability ensures uninterrupted service and reliability while significantly reducing the amount of traffic web servers need to handle. With a two-server HA cluster, backend traffic is reduced by 50%; with three servers, the reduction is 67%.
— SSL/TLS encrypted transactions can also, if required, be used all the way from the client to the backend.
— Streams enormous amounts of high resolution video content on demand, delivered directly from memory.
— Cached content is persisted even after a restart of the Varnish servers and preloaded on restart, which saves time and ensures continued high performance.
