We have an internet accelerator. It works more by a compression
feature. My boss says it's great. We use that between plants, etc.
The term "accelerator" may be a bit of a misnomer because inserting another server into the topology always adds some extra latency to the line. An accelerator may actually become a decelerator in the case of low volume web sites. The IBM i Apache server has built-in caching & compression, for example. You don't need another server for that.
On the other hand, it may make sense to move certain workloads off the database / application server. Encryption, compression, certificate management, caching, and serving static content are good examples. The extra server may provide a buffer against DOS attacks and general hacking.
