Equiinet CachePilot

What is CachePilot?

Designed to meet the needs of schools, as defined by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and BECTA. CachePilot is an all-in-one smart content delivery solution that is robust enough to handle any eLearning package, no matter the size, content provider or available bandwidth. CachePilot can store, update and deliver both static and dynamic content locally, enabling simultaneous access by multiple PCs.

 

CachePilot comes in three different models: CachePilot, CachePilot Plus and CachePilot Max. The original CachePilot comes in an attractive enclosure that is ideal for desktops and is predominately used in primary schools.

 

 

Physically small enough to be located in cramped conditions, CachePilot Plus still manages to offer twice the performance of the original CachePilot making it ideal for schools who are keen to truly get the best out of their network. The new unit can be ordered with a single 250 Gigabyte disk or additionally equipped with a second drive providing a further 250 Gigabytes of storage depending on a schools particular requirements.

 

 

The CachePilot Max, which benefits from a faster caching engine and twin removable hard drives as standard, is available in a 2U format suitable for mounting in a 19 cabinet.

 

CachePilot Plus and Max offer medium and large schools access to more powerful versions of Equiinet's caching and content delivery capability.  

 

 

 

All three models can also monitored and controlled centrally from Equiinets new Central Control Suite (CCS), giving anyone overseeing a medium or large education network added control and functionality.
