(The Edge components of WebSphere Application Server include Caching Proxy and Load Balancer ; Enterprise Edition also includes Content Distribution .) Several interfaces are provided that enable administrators to customize their installations, to alter how the Edge components interact with each other, or to enable interaction with other software systems.

Important: Caching Proxy is available on all Edge component installations, with the following exceptions:
  • Caching Proxy is not available for Edge component installations that run on Itanium 2 or AMD Opteron 64-bit processors.
  • Caching Proxy is not available for Edge component installations of Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6.
