From what I understand of the latest Cache Bake-Off benchmarking, you'd have to dig hard and deep to find any mention of Novell anywhere BUT if you looked at the results, 9 of the Top 10 price/performance "leaders" were based on Novell's ICS. I think Deni Conner's article on Network World's website had a link to it...wait...her quote - "In recent results from the Caching Bake-off, nine of the top 10 systems using Novell's ICS won for best price/performance." To get at the results: nwfusion.com Here's a list of ICS-based appliances (including prices): www2.nwfusion.com\|EEEQ1y1SBYR/TR.SvXWE8EAYhQfpBZYE0EEo88nP/fpw/fpw8o/999/tfTWB1/YhQfpBZY/1y1SBYR/1y1SBYR8oEqyOXBYooE88 So a Volera promoting this product could not do any worse. Then again, a company like Akamai buying into this company gets a very decent "entry-level" device or even a "customer premises" piece for it's content delivery network. Talk about getting the content down and close to the user! Regards, Peter J Strifas
