NGINX Plus

NGINX Plus is a commercial application delivery package built on the NGINX web server. It is meant for teams that deploy and run websites and applications and want one piece of software to cover several jobs. The vendor says it works across any type of infrastructure.

What NGINX Plus offers

• Load balancing — spreads incoming traffic across application servers.
• Content caching — keeps copies of content close to the user to speed up delivery.
• Web serving — serves sites and apps directly.
• Security controls — protections applied at the point where traffic enters.
• Monitoring — visibility into how delivery is performing.

Key facts
