CEO. "We are pleased to see the rapid growth and market acceptance of caching
appliances and believe that our dedicated appliance strategy is playing a critical
role in delivering improved response time and bandwidth savings for our growing

unwavering focus to provide purpose-built Internet caching appliance solutions for
our customers, we believe CacheFlow is uniquely positioned in the market today."

Public Offering this quarter provides us with additional resources to strategically

Second Quarter Highlights:
The Company completed its initial public offering of approximately 5.75
million common shares (including the underwriters over-allotment
provision) on November 19, 1999. CacheFlow is listed on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "CFLO."
CacheFlow announced the general availability of release 2.1 of its
CacheOSTM, an operating system built expressly for Internet caching.
CacheOS 2.1 is designed to enable CacheFlow Internet caching
appliances to accept redirected HTTP requests from Cisco routers using
the most recent version of the Web Cache Communications Protocol
(WCCP version 2.0). This allows for the transparent deployment of caching
within IP networks, delivering up to a 10 times improvement in Web
response time without requiring additional network components.
The Company introduced three new members of its industry-leading family
of Internet caching appliances. The CacheFlow 3000 series, scaling up to
T3 throughput, attains a price/performance ratio unprecedented in the
industry. The CacheFlow 500-electronic commerce series (CacheFlow
500-ec) is the first solution expressly optimized to accelerate e-commerce
and protect overburdened firewalls for enterprises and Internet Service
Providers (ISPs). The CacheFlow 110 is uniquely designed for deployment
in remote offices and points of presence (PoPs) where price sensitivity is
key.
Global One Deploys CacheFlow Internet Caching Appliances to
Deliver Content-Replication Services in International Markets
CacheFlow Solution Brings Frequently Requested Internet Content Closer to Users
Sunnyvale, California, December 15, 1999 -- CacheFlow® Inc. (NASDAQ: CFLO), a
leading provider of Internet caching appliances, today announced that Global One,
recently awarded "Best Carrier 1999" by customers under Emap Media
WorldCommunicationAwards 1999, has implemented CacheFlow's Internet
caching appliances to help it enter the fast-growing Internet content-replication
market. Global One has deployed the CacheFlow solution in nearly 30 countries to
offer its high-performance, innovative Dynamic Content Replication service to
traffic-intensive Web sites worldwide. The Global One service will help Web sites
move frequently requested content closer to end users' network access points,
thereby avoiding network congestion and providing better overall performance.
"Web-site operators increasingly rely on sophisticated, bandwidth-intensive
graphics and multimedia content to attract potential customers. As a result, the
size of file transfer from a Web site to the end user's browser has also increased.
Therefore, users are more likely to experience poor performance due to bandwidth
constraints at popular Web sites. The Global One Dynamic Content Replication
service solves this dilemma," said Jonathan Chou, product manager for IP
applications at Global One. "Global One selected CacheFlow because we found it
to have the best price-performance ratio in the industry, and we have been very
pleased by the reliability and ease of maintenance of the CacheFlow appliances."
CacheFlow appliances locally store and serve the Internet content most often
requested by users, while simultaneously monitoring the source of that content for
changes. In doing so, CacheFlow's operating system, CacheOSTM, and custom
hardware improve response time for Internet users, deliver fresher content and
more efficiently utilize existing bandwidth.
Global One has long held a recognized leadership position as a provider of
high-quality, dedicated Internet access to international businesses and Internet
Service Providers around the globe.
"Global One has an ambitious strategy of delivering seamless service to business
and consumer subscribers worldwide," said Stu Aaron, vice president of marketing
and product management at CacheFlow. "Our Internet caching appliances --
designed to ensure 'Internet equality' to users regardless of their location -- are
ideally suited to help Global One cost-effectively reach its goals."
