Greetings-
I have a remote office that is a mix of Windows and Unix clients that
have to
access a filer far away in our main office.
For the unix folks, we have deployed a flexcache and their quality of
life has
greatly improved. It looks like NetApp doesn't offer any type of
flexcache type
solution for CIFS so I am look at other options.
Are there any flexcache like solutions from a 3rd party that people have deployed and is anyone using a tcp accelerator appliance such as
Riverbed to
speed to access to a volume via CIFS?
At this point, I am open to just about any solution :)
ONTAP 8.1.1 added support for Microsoft's BranchCache. I'm not familiar with Windows, but from what I've read it seems to have some lofty requirements from Microsoft regarding supported client and server OS. Might be worth a look at though.
