BranchCache, teamed with DeDupe on the server side is pretty industrial strength these days. Lots of places using it successfully over many sites and clients. Even BranchCache V1 (Win7 WS2008) can cut it.
If your 20Gb package has a lot of common content then dedupe will reduce the amount you even need to transfer to those remote sites. You need at least WS2012 + Win8 on the client for the dedupe advantage though. I would test BranchCache out at least - you already own it :) Phil From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Burke, John Sent: 25 August 2016 15:34 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Current Branch Planning - 400 slow connected stores Hi Folks, I'm wondering what folks think about branch cache for dealing with these poorly connected locations. They apparently get massive packages that need to go in 1 night of 20 GB. There are about 1500 systems at these locations in total. I was going to look into 1e nomad, but wondering if I could get away with branch cache. Thoughts? FYI - currently they get a drive mailed to them and copy it manually to 1 system then they either manually do it, or copy it 1 by 1.
