Scale your connectivity, not your costs
School networks are under constant pressure to do more. More bandwidth. More devices. More streaming. And tech directors are rising to the challenge—with bigger internet connections and more sophisticated infrastructure.
But every step up in bandwidth brings associated costs. Firewalls and filters - especially in enterprise-class environments - are priced by throughput. Moving from a 1Gbps to a 2Gbps connection often means more than a new internet plan. It may mean a higher licence fee, a more powerful appliance, and additional configuration and support.
District tech leaders know this. It’s a predictable part of infrastructure planning. But predictable doesn’t mean unavoidable.
Caching with CACHEBOX offers a strategic alternative. By serving repeat and bandwidth-heavy content locally - within the school LAN - it significantly reduces the amount of traffic that needs to pass through your firewall or filter.
Over time, that adds up. Fewer upgrade cycles. Smaller licence renewals. Less strain on limited IT budgets.
CACHEBOX has helped us avoid costly upgrades. Without it, we’d likely need to be at 3Gbps. It ensures we’re being bandwidth-responsible while delivering great performance.
Caching doesn’t replace your firewall - it helps it go further. In a landscape where bandwidth needs keep growing, but infrastructure costs don’t fall, that’s a difference worth making.
