FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mango Announces CacheLink - The Ultimate Web Cache 'Server'
Leverage your LAN for Ultra-fast Internet Access
Westborough, MA - August 31, 1999: Mango, developers of
innovative software-based servers for the business marketplace, today
announced the release of their new software product, CacheLink. CacheLink
is a virtual, web cache server that stores frequently viewed web pages for
rapid retrieval by any system connected to the LAN. It complements the
browser cache in each PC by efficiently linking them together into a
single cache pool for all PCs. CacheLink retrieves frequently viewed web
pages from other CacheLink users on your LAN instead of from the Internet.
Performance measurements show CacheLink delivers web content, on average,
5 times faster than a T1 line and 40 times faster than a 56K shared-modem.
With CacheLink, not only do you spend less time waiting for
web content, you also free up your Internet bandwidth, resulting in more
available capacity.
CacheLink is the most cost-effective caching solution on the market.
The more systems on a LAN using CacheLink, the more effective it becomes.
The product scales from as few as 2 nodes to entire LAN segments with
hundreds of users. With CacheLink, the more you share, the more you save.
According to Ravi Singh, Managing Director at Punk, Ziegel & Co.,
an investment bank exclusively focusing on technology and health care,
"Mango's CacheLink software is outstanding! From the moment we
installed it in my office, I saw an obvious and significant performance
boost to my web activities. Our analysts require prompt and frequent
access to relevant Internet data sources. CacheLink, by virtue of its
pooling capability (of all PC's connected to a LAN), has sped up web
content delivery by over 30%."
CacheLink is safe, secure and dependable. CacheLink combines your
browser caches securely, while maintaining your privacy and is transparent
to firewalls, virus protection, and web site monitoring technology. The
product includes a built-in, performance-monitoring tool that can be used
to evaluate cache effectiveness in each environment.
According to Scott Davis, Mango's Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer, "CacheLink is the second product in Mango's suite of
innovative, software-based servers. Mango uses patented pooling technology
to extract more value from networks in a simple and easy to use
manner." CacheLink can be installed by anyone quickly and requires no
additional hardware or software. CacheLink configures popular browsers
automatically.
CacheLink is a software-only solution and is fault tolerant. Unlike
other web caching solutions, the product has no single point of failure.
CacheLink works with new or existing networks of Windows 95, Windows 98,
and Windows NT computers.
CacheLink will be sold through the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
channel, the Value Added Reseller (VAR) channel, and direct from Mango.
