Cache cachet Web caching appliances help conserve precious Internet bandwidth. By NEAL WEINBERG Network World, 05/10/99 Is your Internet connection getting bogged down? Are end users complaining about the World Wide Wait? Are you adding new Internet or intranet applications that may require additional bandwidth? Maybe it's time to consider implementing a Web-caching appliance. These devices store a copy of previously accessed Web pages and eliminate the need to download those pages from the Internet the next time an end user requests them. By reducing Internet traffic and improving network performance, caching appliances may allow you to delay a costly Internet access upgrade. ISPs buy the bulk of caching products these days, but analysts predict that corporate customers will begin turning to caching appliances later this year as they either outgrow their software-based proxy servers or look to caching for the first time in the face of mounting end-user complaints about slow Web response time. "The market for caching will ultimately be huge,'' says Peter Christy, an analyst at Collaborative Research in Los Altos, Calif. He expects the market to grow from $100 million in 1998 to $2 billion by 2002, with caching appliances dominating the field.
