These people get their energy in a different way :). No, they are certainly not an energy company but they do have a presence in a number of harder to reach locations such as Panama and Nigeria.
We started off deploying an environment of Site Server and DPs and prestaged the content onto them. We then converted most of these DPs over to pull enabled DPs and also deployed Branch Cache to the clients. The only issue we had with the latter is that some of their routers were suppressing multicast on the LANs (which was a surprise to their infrastructure team) and therefore killing the discovery packets. We use Branch Cache for pretty near any deployment, also having zapped some task sequences to utilise Branch Cache too and that works well From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dwayne Allen Sent: 28 May 2015 15:43 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] BranchCache I don't know if we're the same one Jason is referring to, but I work for a well-known ~35,000 seat energy company that is utilizing BranchCache. It works great for us. It really helps out with pushing out the monthly software updates. ----- Dwayne Allen [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> (479) 310-0027 On Thu, May 28, 2015 at 8:48 AM, Jason Sandys <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: The 2Pint guys will vehemently disagree with you on this. BranchCache can work quite well and I’m sure they will share with you many success stories (offline of course). I also know of a handful including a large 35,000 seat energy company.

This I've heard from colleagues and this list since I haven't tried it personally in production. The recommendation is to use 3rd party tools provider like 1e or adaptiva that have done intensive development on their tools.
