SOLUTION Laurel, MD (December 14, 1998) - SkyCache Inc., the world's premier high-speed datacasting company, today certified InfoLibria's patent-pending DynaCache, the industry's only fully-transparent, easy-to-install caching solution, as SkyCache Compatible. SkyCache's Release 1.0 satellite cache turbocharing service can be deployed to help fill local DynaCache caches with the most popular Web content, where it can be served quickly, with minimal bandwidth consumption. "DynaCache's unique ease-of-use and high performance makes it very attractive to network operators at both ISPs and large enterprises," said Doug Humphrey, president and CEO of SkyCache. SkyCache provides an innovative satellite-based service for delivering updated Web content to network caches. The service gathers data on content popularity and transmits content to caches via satellite - off the backbone. DynaCache uses a network of collaborating cache appliances to store the most popular Internet content closer to users and off the congested backbone for faster access and tremendous bandwidth savings. "SkyCache's service can be deployed with DynaCache to make popular content more available to users, while at the same saving bandwidth costs by keeping traffic off the backbone," said Ian Yates, president and CEO of InfoLibria. "SkyCache's service can leverage DynaCache's strengths, creating an attractive combination for select ISPs." SkyCache, through a combination of its patent-pending Reactive Caching system and cache pre-population, provides superior performance by supplementing a stand-alone cache with high-quality data delivered by satellite broadcast technology. The SkyCache Release 1.0 cache turbocharging service enables ISPs to add more customers to existing leased line capacity and deliver substantially faster web page response times in many cases. DynaCache is a distributed network-caching solution that speeds Internet access and decreases bandwidth consumption by moving popular Internet information closer to users. DynaCache is the only fully-transparent, high-performance, carrier-class network cache appliance, providing network operators with unparalleled ease-of-use and reliability in a high-performance environment.
