The technical stuff
Acquia Cloud shines with these technologies, configured to get the most from Drupal:
- Varnish (Web accelerator)
- APC (PHP accelerator)
- Memcache (memory cacher)
- Nginx (lightweight Web server and proxies)
- Apache Solr (Acquia Search)
- GlusterFS (file system)
- Exim (mail server)
- ...and, of course, Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Drupal.
