The Exinda Edge Cache enables single-sided caching of Internet based content at the network edge, including web objects, videos and software updates, delivering a superior user experience and reducing WAN resource utilisation.

Web objects are cached at the network edge when they are first downloaded from the Internet or across WAN links. These objects can then be delivered to the users on subsequent requests, over the corporate local area network much quicker without needing to download the data over the WAN again, providing a better user experience and increased productivity to the workforce. By caching web objects in the local office, you can drive down the network traffic consumed by each office, which directly reduces network costs.

The Exinda Edge Cache enables caching of web objects, video, software update and other content on the WAN. It also offers cache statistics, which provide insight into the amount of repetitive data being off-loaded from the WAN link, how cacheable the network data is, how frequently the cache is being accessed and by how many hosts, helping you to understand the nature of their network traffic over time.

The Exinda Edge Cache can also be aligned with optimisation policies, allowing administrators to only cache specific content for specific users or groups of users and to maintain very precise controls over how much WAN bandwidth should be made available for each application traversing the network.
