    Overview
    BoostEdge Atlas is an ADC (Application Delivery Controller) which makes applications run faster, decreases bandwidth needs, ensures application availability, protects servers and data and every corporate application deployment.

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.
