Windows 7 BranchCache™ User Experience

Posted By: yung | Feb 4th @ 10:00 AM | 5,249 Views | 0 Comments
BranchCache, an exciting feature introduced in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, enables content from file and Web servers on a wide area network (WAN) to be cached on computers at a local branch office. Once BranchCache is configured, a copy of data accessed from intranet Web and file servers is cached locally within the branch office. Cached content can either be distributed across peer client computers (Distributed Cache mode) or centrally hosted on a server (Hosted Cache mode). When another client on the same network requests the file, the client downloads it from the local cache without downloading the same content across the WAN. BranchCache is to improve application response time and reduce WAN traffic.[Click to read the full post ]

Hey folks, just a reminder that if you’re still running a Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) then it’s time to move to release bits, because it’s going to expire soon.  I wanted to take a minute and give you a rundown of what you can expect, and what you can do about it.  The short version is that if you’re running RC bits, on Feb 15 you’ll start getting reminders to upgrade, on March 1 the system will timebomb and start rebooting every 2 hours, and on June 1 the system will expire and give you non-activated/nongenuine warnings in addition to the shutdowns.
