That is correct. WebAccelerator excels at deployments in Reverse Proxy Cache mode.

 

 

As an addendum to Lori's note, the 9.4.2 version of BIG-IP WebAccelerator places LTM FastCache "under the hood" of BIG-IP WebAccelerator. Now customers don't have to choose. If you buy BIG-IP WebAccelerator or BIG-IP WebAccelerator 4500 (stand alone), you get the benefits of FastCache.

 

 

This combination of capabilities results in a 2x to 15x performance capacity gain for WebAccelerator.
