Release Highlights
- Faster cache processing
- Reduced RAM usage
- REM improvements
Faster Cache Processing
The caching algorithms in Replify WAN Accelerator are more efficient than before. This means that acceleration will work more effectively in higher bandwidth environments. The more efficient algorithms also mean that older hardware running Replify WAN Accelerator will be able to accelerate higher bandwidth links.
Additionally, there is a new static caching mode that will provide even more efficient processing of content that does not change frequently.
The faster Intelligent Cache Engine (ICE) means more connections can be handled by the Replify nodes, all while keeping the system responsive, and providing huge offload of WAN traffic. This all translates to a better user experience for the end-user, and better use of your company’s WAN links.
Reduced RAM Usage
Replify’s Intelligent Cache Engine is now using more efficient structures to store data in RAM. This means that a single Virtual Appliance can store a larger cache or support more clients than previously. This is useful where content can be large, or where large numbers of clients are present at a single location.
Replify Enterprise Manager Improvements
The REM will keep statistics for longer. It will also use less RAM and will reduce bandwidth usage between Virtual Appliances and Clients.
