Nexcess cloud accelerator FAQ

The Nexcess cloud accelerator adds unparalleled performance and capacity to your hosting solution.

A MicroCache is a repository of non-personalized, static content. This can include elements such as images and JavaScript. A MicroCache keeps this content cached in memory so it can be re-served quickly.

Static asset caching is a necessity for high-performance application delivery. Because of this, the Nexcess Cloud application stack was engineered to leverage Nginx. Nginx is an open-source, high-performance HTTP server. We position Nginx in front of your application and configure it to perform short-lived caching, in-memory, of frequently used assets.

This provides near-instance delivery to your end-users. When your assets need to come from disk, we serve them up on redundant arrays of solid state disks.
