CacheFlow Rolling Out OC-12-Capable Cache Appliance I especially like the part about the cache market growing from $19 million to > $1 billion! Steve Tuesday, May 18, 1999, 2:59 PM ET. CacheFlow Rolling Out OC-12-Capable Cache Appliance By CHUCK MOOZAKIS CacheFlow Inc. next Monday will take the wraps off a new cache appliance that can scale up to OC-12 (622 Mbps) traffic loads. The Series 5000, available June 30, is geared to carriers and large enterprises scrambling to keep pace with the explosive growth of Internet traffic, according to Kelly Herrell, CacheFlow's vice president of marketing. The appliance can handle up to 40,000 simultaneous connections. The basic model can be configured to handle a T3 (45 Mbps) connection up to OC-12 by adding more processor power, memory and disks, Herrell said. Although carriers will likely be among the first customers to deploy the Series 5000, enterprises are also beginning to employ caching in their internal networks. A Dataquest survey projects the caching market to balloon within the next four years--from only $19 million last year to more than $1 billion--driven in part by enterprise adoption of the technology. The Series 5000 relies on CacheFlow's recently released CacheOS Version 2, which features bolstered performance reporting and response times. The app's new capabilities, in combination with improvements built into the appliance, will let the OS handle data three times faster than previous versions. The Series 5000 will be priced at $39,950 for a basic configuration. A fully loaded appliance capable of handling OC-12 connectivity will be priced at $400,000 internetwk.com
