CachePro Concentrator
Branch Office Content Caching Appliance
Accelerate branch office access to centralized files and web content by caching frequently accessed data locally — reducing WAN bandwidth consumption and dramatically improving application responsiveness.
A purpose-built caching appliance that works transparently with HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, SSL, and IPsec traffic. Branch users get local-speed access to remote content. The WAN carries each piece of content once. IT deploys zero client software.
BRANCH OPTIMIZATION
Local speed from remote content
Branch offices depend on centralized resources — file servers, intranet portals, web applications, document repositories. Every time a branch user opens a file, loads a page, or downloads a document, that request crosses the WAN to the datacenter and the content traverses the WAN back. Multiply that by every user in every branch, and the WAN becomes the bottleneck that defines the user experience.
The CachePro concentrator sits at the branch office and caches content locally as it passes through. The first time a user requests a file or web resource, it's fetched from the datacenter and delivered to the user — and a copy is stored in the CachePro cache. The second time any user at that branch requests the same content, it's served directly from the local cache. No WAN round-trip. No latency. No bandwidth consumed.
The caching is completely transparent. There is no client software to install, no proxy settings to configure, no user training required. Branch users access resources exactly as they always have — by hostname, by file path, by URL. The CachePro appliance intercepts requests, checks its local cache, and either serves the content locally or fetches it from the origin. The user never knows the cache exists; they just know things are faster.
CachePro handles encrypted traffic natively. HTTP, HTTPS, SMB file shares, SSL-encrypted web applications, and IPsec-tunneled traffic are all cacheable. Content integrity is verified through cryptographic hashing — cached content is validated against the origin before being served, ensuring branch users always receive current, unmodified data.

Local speed · Zero WAN traffic · Instant response
Content integrity. Cached content is cryptographically hashed and validated against the origin server. Modified content is re-fetched automatically. Users always receive current, verified data.
What CachePro delivers
A transparent caching appliance that accelerates branch office access to centralized content — reducing WAN bandwidth, improving responsiveness, and supporting encrypted protocols natively.
Transparent content caching
Automatically caches files, web content, and application data as it passes through the branch. No client software, no proxy configuration, no user training. Content is served locally on subsequent requests without any WAN round-trip.
WAN bandwidth reduction
Each piece of content crosses the WAN once. Every subsequent request for the same content is served from the local cache. In typical branch deployments, CachePro reduces WAN bandwidth consumption significantly — especially for file-heavy and web-heavy workloads.
Encrypted protocol support
Caches content delivered over HTTP, HTTPS, SMB file shares, SSL-encrypted web applications, and IPsec-tunneled traffic. Encrypted content is handled natively — branch users benefit from caching regardless of the transport security in use.
Content integrity verification
Cached content is cryptographically hashed and validated against the origin server. If the origin content changes, the cache entry is invalidated and the updated content is fetched on the next request. Users always receive current, unmodified data.
SMB file share acceleration
Branch users accessing centralized file shares experience local-speed file opens, saves, and directory browsing. Frequently accessed documents, templates, and shared resources are cached locally and served without WAN latency.
Multi-branch scalability
Deploy a CachePro appliance at each branch location. Each appliance operates independently with its own local cache, managed centrally through ASAFE. No inter-branch cache coordination required — each branch caches the content its users access.
ASAFE Integration
Cloud-based management and monitoring
Every CachePro deployment integrates with the ASAFE platform — IVO Networks' cloud-based monitoring, high-availability, and security management system.
Cache performance monitoring
Track cache hit ratios, bandwidth savings, storage utilization, and content age across all deployed CachePro appliances from a single cloud-based dashboard. Identify branches with low cache efficiency and optimize configurations.
WAN savings reporting
Quantify the bandwidth savings at each branch — see how much WAN traffic was avoided through local caching. Use the data to justify WAN circuit sizing decisions, demonstrate ROI, and plan capacity.
Centralized configuration
Manage cache policies, storage allocation, content expiration rules, and protocol settings across all branch appliances from a single interface. Push configuration changes without per-device intervention.
Health alerts & diagnostics
Receive alerts when cache storage reaches capacity, when cache hit ratios drop below thresholds, or when appliance health issues are detected. Diagnose issues remotely without dispatching to the branch.

ARCHITECTURE
How CachePro caching works
A hosted cache architecture where the CachePro appliance acts as a centralized branch cache — serving content to all clients at the branch without requiring peer-to-peer coordination or client-side cache management.
Hosted cache model
The CachePro appliance maintains a centralized cache for the entire branch. When any client at the branch retrieves content from the datacenter, a copy is stored in the appliance's local cache. Subsequent requests from any client at the same branch are served locally — one fetch benefits every user.
Content hashing & validation
All cached content is identified by cryptographic hash. When a client requests content, the hash is checked against the origin server. If the content hasn't changed, the cached copy is served. If it has, the updated content is fetched, cached, and delivered. Cache integrity is guaranteed.
Protocol-aware caching
CachePro understands HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, SSL, and IPsec at the protocol level. It caches content according to each protocol's semantics — respecting HTTP cache-control headers, SMB opportunistic locking, and SSL session parameters. Not a dumb byte cache; a protocol-aware content cache.
