I guess then Ed it depends upon your definition of "simple" is. If "simple" is having to deploy an additional agent to my entire client estate instead of enabling a feature which is already built into the core OS then I guess you've got me there.
If simple is having to update my product using a channel which is not the base update channel in CM then yup, again you have me. I grant you that BranchCache is nowhere near the sophistication that some peer caching technologies have. I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy anything Ed. My brief is to deploy using out of the box technology where possible and that is what I am doing. I have a fallback position that I am comfortable with. > On 2 Mar 2016, at 21:16, Ed Aldrich <ed.aldr...@1e.com> wrote: > > “…I am planning on using simple, cheaper and well proven technology” > > Can’t argue cheaper… but simple and well proven, I’d just say that 30million > Nomad licenses over 1700 customers argues nicely for “well proven”. > > …and I’m out. > > Ed Aldrich |Technical Enablement Lead > 1E | Software Lifecycle Automation for the Digital Business > Mobile: (401) 924-2293 > ed.aldr...@1e.com | www.1e.com > <image003.png> Ent Client Mgmt MVP (2003-2016) > > From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] > On Behalf Of Jason Wallace > Sent: Wednesday, March 2, 2016 3:26 PM > To: ms...@lists.myitforum.com > Subject: RE: [mssms] Use of Riverbeds at remote offices > > Thanks John > > This customer is deploying Riverbeds as we speak. > > No, not in the slightest – I am not trying to run a DP on the appliance – > just want to be familiar with what it can offer when it sits between the > small number of DPs that we will be hosting in Azure and the clients which > will largely be running BranchCache. > > Were I to have a branch office scenario where I needed a DP and I couldn’t > have a DP then I would aim to use a peer caching technology (which we are > doing for free) or buy one (in this case, it likely would be a different > product to Nomad) so I am planning on using simple, cheaper and well proven > technology J > > Jason > > From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] > On Behalf Of Marcum, John > Sent: 02 March 2016 19:57 > To: ms...@lists.myitforum.com > Subject: RE: [mssms] Use of Riverbeds at remote offices > > Jeeze… that post was 5 years ago!
