Novell's Volera Excelerator proved to be a better performer with a better price point than its rivals, speeding delivery of frequently requested Web content to end users. This lightens enterprise bandwidth requirements and reduces latency for HTTP and streaming media requests. Although Novell and Blue Coat support RealNetworks and Windows media extensions, Excelerator can stream media from origin servers at less than the encoded bit rate and deliver that media to users from the cache at the encoded bit rate in real time. And it can be configured as a reverse- or forward-proxy cache, or a combination of the two, without modifications to the OS configuration.
