Serving static content faster with Fast Response Cache Accelerator
The fast response cache accelerator (FRCA) can improve
the performance of the IBM HTTP
Server when serving static content, such as text and image files.
Support for FRCA is on AIX® and Windows systems only.
Enabling IBM HTTP Server for FastCGI applications
FastCGI applications use TCP or UNIX sockets
to communicate with the Web server. This scalable architecture enables
applications to run on the same platform as the Web server, or on
many machines scattered across an enterprise network.
