 3 Webcache 1000 and 3000 are high-performance, 

easily configurable webcache appliances. They offer the following 
benefits to your network:

■

The Webcache locally stores frequently accessed Web content and 
quickly serves it to the end user on demand. This reduces the amount 
of traffic on the WAN, providing significant cost benefits by reducing 
the bandwidth requirement on expensive WAN links.

■

The end user receives Web content more quickly and with greater 
quality of service if it is served from a local, high-speed Webcache 
than if it is served from the Internet. Web object requests that have to 
travel over long distances are limited to the speed and capacity of the 
slowest link in the path. A Webcache that is closer to the client 
machines reduces the potential for slow links and dropped data 
packets.
