Varnish is a reverse Web accelerator designed for content-heavy dynamic web sites. In contrast to other HTTP accelerators, many of which began life as client-side proxies or origin servers, Varnish was designed from the ground up as an accelerator for incoming traffic.We actually claim that Varnish is ten to twenty times faster than the popular Squid cache on the same kind of hardware!

- Varnish gives us the opportunity to handle the June peak period without additional hardware investments. Varnish really does handle http acceleration problems. It is stable in our production environment, and we are happy to use it.
