Nginx (Engine-X)
Nginx is an advanced HTTP server and mail proxy server. Nginx is a highly scalable
platform for delivering HTTP and HTTPS content.
Carbon Mountain uses the Nginx project in a number of solutions for both the KaOS™ and
vKaOS™ platforms. Nginx enables the KaOS™ hypervisor platform to perform content
acceleration, advanced reverse proxying, global server load balancing, and SSL off-load.
Carbon Mountain currently only uses the advanced HTTP capabilities of nginx.
Nginx is a core component in KaOS™ and vKaOS™.
Nginx can be downloaded from
