SHARED LAN CACHE FROM MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES PC PERFORMANCE OVER EXISTING NETWORKS

STOUGHTON, Mass., Sept. 22 /PRNEWSWIRE/ -- Measurement Techniques, Inc. formally introduces Shared LAN Cache, its breakthrough network file caching technology, during the Atlanta NetWorld+Interop ’95 show. Shared LAN Cache (patents pending) dramatically improves the performance (3-50X) of PC workstations running application software over existing LANs and WANs.

Shared LAN Cache (SLC) works by redirecting PC workstation data requests to SLC local and shared caches instead of the file server where the file is actually opened. SLC is easy to install, NOS independent and requires no changes to existing file servers. SLC works with DOS and Windows and is compatible with Network Operating Systems from Banyan, Novell, DEC, Microsoft and Unix-NFS implementations.

SLC utilizes an advanced client-server file caching architecture that provides a shared cache on the local network segment. SLC Clients on the local LAN segment read data from the SLC Server’s non-volatile cache off-loading existing file servers, routers, bridges and wireless LANs from redundant read requests.

SLC offers optional client caching software that satisfies network read requests from a local non-volatile cache. Local caching on the PC provides near-hard disk performance for applications loaded from the network. Local caching also off-loads the network and improves network response time for other users writing data to the file servers.

In addition to the savings realized through enhanced user productivity, SLC also saves money by deferring the large capital expenditures required to upgrade LANs and WANs. Wiring, file servers and workstation hardware upgrades can be made over time as higher performance technologies gradually become less expensive. SLC also extends the life of the latest state-of-the-art LAN and WAN equipment by using the enhanced bandwidth more efficiently.
