EDGE COMPUTE
The Edge, Anywhere
Deliver low-latency, high-concurrency experiences, execute custom logic and transform digital platforms with Varnish programmable edge software.
From Cloud and Core to Edge Success
Edge Delivery Software
Performance needs are pushing workloads to the network edge.
If you move compute resources to the edge, you improve existing services and enable new latency-sensitive, bandwidth-intensive use cases. For this mission, Varnish Enterprise is the edge software of choice.
Across media, broadcasting, e-commerce, manufacturing and finance, developers love building with Varnish, users love the experience it delivers, and leaders love the value it unlocks.
Build Better Web Experiences
Lightspeed Edge Execution
Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) is Varnish's built-in language for controlling HTTP request handling, routing, caching, and more.
VCL gets transpiled to C and compiled, instead of interpreted at runtime: say hello to edge compute at blistering speed.
Define advanced logic, adapt cache behavior and optimize for any context. Apply logic to every single HTTP transaction and execute in microseconds to optimize user experiences and system interactions in real time.
Benefits
Efficiency is one thing, but when you combine Varnish performance with a fully fledged programming language, exciting things start to happen.
Seamless Digital Interactions
Deliver exceptional user experiences for latency-sensitive services, across media and business workloads.
Put The Edge Anywhere
Deploy edge compute across internet exchanges, CDNs, the mobile core, cloud services, MEC, ORAN and on-premise edge.
Launch New Services
Offer edge applications services with a speed, scale and flexibility that stand alone.
Fewer Origin Calls
Move HTTP workloads to the edge and reduce infrastructure costs while delivering low-latency interactivity.
Content Delivery Software
The Edge Where You Need It
Varnish Enterprise is platform-agnostic content delivery software. The flexibility and power of VCL unlocks vast opportunities for innovation.
Deploy Varnish deep in ISP networks, with the speed and concurrency that 5G monetization needs.
Deploy at the cloud edge to minimize egress for enterprise streaming services.
Deploy on premise to accelerate manufacturing efficiency.
It’s a private edge platform dedicated to your singular mission.
Security at Speed
Secure Workloads at the Edge
Varnish’s edge capabilities boost security while accelerating delivery of content and data.
Advanced request management and authentication. Restrict access and shield the rest of the network from attacks.
Access controls, rate limiting and IP restrictions protect critical services without harming delivery speed.
Geo-restriction. Restrict movement and storage of locally processed data across state and national boundaries, to uphold compliance.
Who We Help
Every single Varnish user enjoys the power of VCL to build better digital experiences and ensure delivery performance.
"Creativity is important because you can develop any kind of logic with VCL – it is simple, and you are only limited by what you can imagine.”

Senior Technology Infrastructure Engineer, RTÉ
