Grintek adds server accelerators to product and solutions portfolio

Johannesburg, 10 May 2001

"Optimising the flow of information ensuring fast content delivery on the Internet and within corporate intranets, is an issue that has grown in importance," says Delio Senatore, general manager new business development and sales for Grintek Telecom.

"It is not just about a lightning fast Internet experience, but also about being able to deliver the information when and where you need it. As part of its aim to provide total solutions to customers, Grintek Telecom has been appointed a Premier Distributor for CacheFlow, a leading supplier of server accelerator technology."

Says Senatore: "The rapid growth of e-commerce, intranets and the Internet has resulted in a huge increase in the amount of information being exchanged and this places an incredible strain on existing WAN and server installations. CacheFlow server accelerators are purpose-built to deliver Web content faster while reducing the overhead placed on back-end systems.

"CacheFlow's hardware and software solutions are designed to fit seamlessly into a Web site's infrastructure, handling up to 95% of its content and reducing response times by anything from 50% to 80%. At the same time, the scalability of the site can be increased up to tenfold, enabling owners to add a greater range of services and richer content in order to boost revenues without a huge outlay in capital for upgrading their systems.

"As CacheFlow's Premier Distributor for the sub-Saharan region, Grintek Telecom is better positioned to penetrate the information and communications technology market. CacheFlow is considered an international market leader in Web caching technology, particularly for e-commerce, with a focus on content intelligent networking. Its products fit into Grintek's commitment to offering solutions based on best-of-breed technology.

"In addition to integrating CacheFlow technology into the solutions we engineer for customers, we are also offering it, through local service providers and value-added resellers, as a standalone caching solution for customers looking to optimise their existing infrastructure, including ISPs and small, medium and large corporates operating complex intranets."
