To save connection costs to the Internet and speed up user access NetPilot uses Boundary Caching.

This allows popular web sites, pages or parts of pages to be stored locally on NetPilot and to be viewed subsequently by other users without reconnecting to the Internet unless the content has changed.

Rather than caching within the Internet, as is done by ISPs, NetPilot implements caching in the most efficient place for businesses – on the boundary between the office LAN and the Internet, i.e. inside NetPilot. This makes responses extremely quick once the information is held within the cache.

Boundary Caching is transparent and intelligent with no configuration necessary by the user or network administrator. It works in conjunction with your ISP’s cache, so that both are aware of the age and content that is being carried by the co-operating device.
