"At peak times we used to experience poor network performance. With CACHEBOX we now have a nice gradual slope to and from our peak"
Eli Vaughan, Networks Administrator, Medicine Park, USA
"CACHEBOX is the only mid-size cache server in the market that actually works."
Heiko Rehmn, CEO, Pyramite-IT
"CACHEBOX is really helping us to improve our streaming performance on a limited bandwidth connection"
Mark Iten, OTZ Telephone Co-Operative, USA
"We used to offer speeds between 500 and 800Kb/s but now we can offer an 800Kb/s minimum and an average of 1.5-2Meg per second"
Bob Ney, Support Engineer at Esplanade Wireless, USA
"CACHEBOX has saved us money as it delayed the need to purchase additional bandwidth"
Adam Yon, C&W St Helena Networks Manager

Easy Scaling with Linked CACHEBOXes

CACHEBOX makes it easy to link multiple CACHEBOXes together, to form local clusters or distributed caching networks. The benefits are:

  • Redundancy – the caching service continues if one CACHEBOX becomes unavailable
  • Performance – caches working together deliver higher hit rates and/or lower latency
  • Scaling capacity – in effect, building a larger cache to handle increasing traffic

A caching network solution can be built up with CACHEBOX using any combination of three kinds of relationship:

Clustering-parent-child Clustering-Siblings clustering-wccp
Parent-Child Links – sharing objects downwards from a cache at a higher level Sibling Links – sharing directly between two caches at the same level in a hierarchy Load balancing by a WCCP enabled switch/router or a load balancer

Larger distributed deployments often use all three elements to build complex CACHEBOX hierarchies across large regions. These could be for a large ISP, a regional education authority or an enterprise sharing controlled content across a branch network.

Many CACHEBOX customers use load balancing with the WCCP protocol to achieve redundancy and scaling in a local cluster – from a single pair in a large high school to large clustered stacks in the network core of a large ISP.
