The only thing you could cache as far as I can see is static content (js, css, pictures) and list calls.
Anything that triggers an action has to reach the mgmt server and cannot be cached. When caching list calls you have to either have a really short lifespan, or a proper method of invalidating the content on changes. As for caching static content I am not sure if it really is worth it, it is only loaded on the first page load, and with recent ACS versions it should be cached by your browser as well. I guess that theoretically you could build a custom version of the client-web that reference static content from another server ( static.customer.com) and ensure through DNS that users use a mirror close by. -- Erik On Thu, Dec 10, 2015 at 12:06 PM, Giles Sirett <giles.sir...@shapeblue.com> wrote: > I’m trying to get a basic understanding on how much the performance of > the ACS UI would improve if it was run through some form of > accelerator/reverse proxy/cache (i.e. something like a netscaler) > > > > Scenario is a management server that is a long way (physically) from the > users, therefore latency is causing UI delays.
