Testimonials
“My Windows Update server broke, but I didn’t need to replace it with a new one as CACHEBOX has taken the need for it away.”
David Godfrey, IT Manager, Trinity School, USA
“CACHEBOX helps with other traffic including antivirus – it keeps us manageable in terms of bandwidth growth. Plus it’s easy to use – we only had to replace one disk in three years, and its not too expensive.”
Ryan Snyder, Network Administrator, Glenbard Township High School District 87, USA
“We have increased our bandwidth, but we do not plan on removing CACHEBOX as it has been great, we just leave it working.”
Richie Williams, IT Manager, Orchard Farm School District, USA
“Bandwidth was so slow before we purchased CACHEBOX, we immediately noticed a big bump in our network speeds and so did the students.”
Richie Williams, IT Manager, Orchard Farm School District, USA
“The Media Library came in handy for our international students who couldn’t access Youtube or use VPN in their own countries; we could share videos with them for them to watch.”
Lee Tilley, Director, Chaminade College Preparatory School, USA
“I’m happy to say that over the last couple of years, CACHEBOX has been one thing that really has exceeded what it says it can do ‘on the box’. We are very pleased with this solution.”
Marc Stakey, Bellefontaine School District, USA
‘One of the main issues we had before CACHEBOX in terms of bandwidth constraints was connectivity with YouTube, we needed to address this issue as YouTube was being used more and more in the classroom. We got CACHEBOX and now we can now access this content with no problems.’
Mark Nwangang, Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG), South Africa
‘CACHEBOX gives us high-performance caching and does what it’s designed to do very well. With CACHEBOX it just works, you don’t need to worry about it.’
Mark Nwangang, Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG), South Africa
“I’ve worked with a lot of DHCP appliances, DNSBOX is by far the easiest by far I’ve ever dealt with. I love the fact the UI is not nested, it’s very easy to use, I’m not having to go six layers deep and then back myself up 2 layers to make sure it worked.”
Anthony Grande, Senior Systems / IT Network Administrator, Phoenix Suns, USA
“I bought CACHEBOX several years ago because it was significantly cheaper than upgrading the internet. At the time, we were consuming 90%+ of our 200Mbps connection and I was conscious that we had plans to move towards a 1:1 scheme, so we needed a cost-effective, scalable solution to manage bandwidth.
After installing CACHEBOX, I immediately saw the difference. The more devices we brought in, the more students embraced e-learning resources, the more efficiency we see. This product has saved me so much money over the years and paid for itself within a matter of months!”
Shawn Dakin, Newcomerstown School District, USA
“I am very impressed by CACHEBOX’s performance. We have doubled the number of devices in our network over the last year and we have actually reduced our bandwidth consumption! We only use 60% of a 200Mbps connection to support a 1:1 district with over 1,200 concurrent devices at peak times!”
Shawn Dakin, Newcomerstown School District, USA
“We saw the impact of the problems Greater Johnstown School District (and many others including Richland School District) has when it transitioned to 1:1. During the day, the internet was so slow it would literally slow to a crawl. It was already on the top tier of internet and previous bandwidth increases just became congested again too quickly! After installing CACHEBOX, everything was more streamline and we stopped receiving complaints! An impressive product that is very well suited to school environments, I’d recommend to all schools.”
Mike Cook, Tech, Greater Johnstown School District, USA
“DNSBOX is easy to manage, handle and is very stable. It is the best DNS product ever!”
Ruth Noemi Perez Feliciano, NOC Supervisor, PREPA Networks (HUB Advanced Networks LLC), Puerto Rico
“DNSBOX has helped me simplify network management. I did not have to keep Active Directory servers up and running just for DNS/DHCP queries. Appliansys allowed me to remove the worry of managing “over-featured” servers. The DNSBOX is, turn on and forget, for the most part.”
Jonathan Ruble, Director, Wesleyan Christian Academy, USA
“We’ve had CACHEBOX for 4 years and it’s the type of appliance that does its job quietly without any need to manage it, to the point that the teachers and staff think the internet is simply fast, but actually I know that if we pulled it out, our internet would slow right down! This unit has really helped us with speed.”
Tony Venable, Merritt Island Christian School, USA
“CACHEBOX runs smoothly and we’ve never had any issues. We actually underwent a major bandwidth upgrade in September and, even with this increased capacity, CACHEBOX is still doing a great job of reducing peak-time demand, managing bandwidth consumption, and improving overall network performance. We see around 40% bandwidth savings on average, which is great, but CACHEBOX also really reduced the load on the internet pipe when there are new software updates and demand spikes.”
Mark Street, Network Admin, Sure South Atlantic (C&W Falklands), Falkland Islands
“We’ve worked with ApplianSys for several years now: DNSBOX is a reliable, fit-for-purpose product, and the ApplianSys service has always been excellent. We’re very happy!”
Ahmed Cherif, Director general, VIPNET International, Ivory Coast (Cote D`Ivoire)
“CACHEBOX really saves me a ton on bandwidth, we have a 200Mbps connection here and have no problems with internet everything runs beautifully, but I know of other districts that have a 1Gb connection and still have issues with slow internet. It’s been my favourite purchase for the school in the last decade!”
Shawn Dakin, Newcomerstown School District, USA
“Media Library has been a gods send! When we used to have the children loading a YouTube video in class half of them would buffer and wouldn’t load, but Media Library and CACHEBOX fixed this and the kids can watch the YouTube videos we want them to easily. We no longer have to worry about having slow internet issues and it saves our bandwidth.”
Troy Virojana, IT Manager, Brookfield Christian School, USA
“The district is seeing the most impact when it comes to Microsoft Updates as well as Apple deployments. We are an entirely 1:1 district with iPads so you can imagine that’s a pretty large chunk of our usage. We also utilize the Media Library as we block YouTube for the students so the teachers can put the content on the Media Library, which is accessible internally and externally for remote Students.”
Micheal Miller, Washington Township School District, USA
