KEY FEATURES (continued)
Easy to deploy and manage and remote management
•TaskSmart Rapid Launch automatically discovers the C-Series appliance server on the network, and the intuitive user interface guides
administrator through configuration of network settings for quick and easy deployment.
•Industry leading systems management with Compaq Insight Manager. Compaq Insight Manager provides pre-failure warranty, which
minimizes down time by detecting a failing part and alerting the administrator before the failure occurs
•Web browser access to management and administration tasks enabling complete remote management. Fully integrated with Remote Insight
Lights Out Edition to establish a virtual presence within data center or at remote locations
•Management clustering for sharing configuration information
Flexible Network Deployment Options
• Multiple transparent caching support options including Layer 4 switches, WCCP, WPAD, and policy-based routing
• Hierarchical deployment offers flexibility in designing network for optimum user experience and most efficient use of network resources.
Certain caches are designated as parent caches to other child caches so that child caches can redirect traffic to parent caches in the hierarchy
•Can be deployed in forward or reverse proxy mode with support for transparent caching. Also includes support for caching hierarchies, to meet
the
exact needs of each network setup
• HTTP parent failover support ensures reliable network operation even under node failure
• Support for host and domain name expansion allows clients to use abbreviations for proxy-able content
Compaq TaskSmart C-Series servers
C4000 Models
Extensive Monitoring and Logging Features
•Extensive system monitoring and management using Compaq Insight Manager that sends alerts to the administrator when pre-set thresholds
are exceeded
•Proxy does not interfere with the origin server's ability to track usage patterns of the client. The client logging information is also passed back
to the origin server
•Default logs include a summary log useful when an overview of cached content is needed, and a complete log that includes all information
logged. Logging fields and formats are easily customizable by editing XML configuration files, to provide the exact information needed for
billing or monito ring.
•Predefined logging formats including Squid and Netscape Extended Formats 1 and 2 ensure compatibility with the most popular log analysis
tools
•Log splitting provides separate logs based on protocol or host name for more extensive billing integration
Granular Cache Control
• By modifying configuration files, administrators can specify criteria that will determine if certain content is cacheable or proxy-able
• Freshness checking – If the content has been changed on the origin server, the cache retrieves the new content, serves it and caches it, and
the expired content is ignored. This happens seamlessly to the connected client. Support for content freshness commands including ‘nevercache’, ‘pin-in-cache’, and ‘revalidate-after’
• Content fingerprinting eliminates duplication of content in the cache and maximizes storage efficiency, regardless of URL
• Caching directives are obeyed. (Example HTTP header information/commands like “no cache”, “no store”, “no-transform”, “public”, “private”)
Unmatched performance
• Optimized Linux OS for higher performance
• Pre-tested hardware and software configurations for high performance
• DataFlow architecture supports simultaneous storing and streaming of data for faster throughput and non-blocking I/O
• RAM caching accelerates response times for most popular content
• Web-object optimized raw disk cache maximizes storage and retrieval efficiency

KEY FEATURES (continued)
Network Management compatibility
• SNMP for network management provides support for existing management standards
• ICP for cache coor dination provides com patibility with existing network caches
• WCCP version 2.0 for transparent caching enables interoperability with Cisco IOS-based routers
• WPAD for proxy auto-discovery provides auto-discovery of proxies for Microsoft clients
High Scalability and Fault Tolerance
•Support for management clustering and full cache clustering
In both clustering modes, all nodes in a cluster can be managed as if they were a single entity. In management-only clustering, each node's
cache storage is a distinct entity and not shared/available to other cluster nodes. In full clustering mode, cache space of all the nodes in the
cluster acts as a single virtual object store. (Note: Full cache clustering is supported only for HTTP content caching – TaskSmart C4000 Model
60 only.)
• Load shedding for graceful request pass-though under extreme load conditions
• Two types of fail-overs in hierarchical deployments ensure a seamless user experience even when one cache goes down: fail-over to origin
server and fail-over to another parent
• Cluster self-monitoring automatically senses and compensates if a hardware failure occurs
• Automatic virtual IP failover ensures that no requests are lost in the event of hardware failure
• System overload detection and throttling provides protection from traffic spikes and denial-of-service attacks
Compaq TaskSmart C-Series servers

Security
• Support for HTTPS and IP access restrictions
• SSL acceleration in reverse proxy mode
• Application level firewall support – users are able to view external streaming media content through an application level firewall
• Authentication proxying – passes authentication challenges from the origin servers
• LDAP Authentication –- can be configured so that users wishing to view content must pass an authentication challenge validated against an
LDAP server
Extensive protocol support
• HTTP 1.0 and 1.1
• FTP
• Real Networks, Windows Media, QuickTime (streaming cache)
Advanced Hosting Features
• Full support in reverse proxy mode including multiple host site support
• Cache-pinning allows users to designate content that should remain in the cache over a specified period of time
