Appendix 4 - NetEqualizer Caching Option (NCO)
We have developed an embedded caching capability used to cache frequently used, static
content, primarily YouTube videos. The NetEqualizer Caching Option (NCO) runs directly on
the NetEqualizer 3000 and 4000 series. When NCO is activated, a squid proxy server and
web cache daemon are loaded, along with proprietary NetEqualizer Caching configuration
and integration software and a new internal solid-state drive (SSD).
The NetEqualizer Caching Option is integrated with Equalizing, providing a comprehensive
bandwidth management strategy. Traffic can be accessed from cache or accessed from the
Internet and equalized, as needed.
NCO caches all port 80 traffic file sizes from 2MB to
40MB, including YouTube videos
. Any type of static content that is frequently accessed will
benefit from caching.
To get a good overview of this feature, read our
Caching Executive Whitepaper
. To deepen
your knowledge and better understand the technical details, please read our
Caching
Technical Whitepaper
.
There is a one-time initial activation and set-up charge for the NetEqualizer Caching Option.
The caching software itself is covered under NSS; to get future releases, you will need to be
current on your
NSS
.
