Tacit's caching appliances are able to deliver files over a WAN with just "a few percentage points of overhead" and can scale to hundreds of users per cache, Williams claims. "If you only need to connect up a few offices with 10 or 15 people, you're not to look at us."
Hmmm... and Tacit can do this even though its appliances are based on PCs? Yes, Williams avows: "The PC architecture is to keep the price competitive... We have a server appliance that sits in front of the highest-end file servers in the data center."
Can this Jersey crew deliver on its promises? We're eager to see whether it can cache some customers, now that it's got a veteran tech executive in the driver's seat.
