ContentCache CentralT, is a product aimed at LEA level administrators, to allow them to centrally manage a large number of Avantis appliances installed at remote sites.

ContentCache CentralT opens up a whole new world of functionality and ease of use for administrators of multiple ContentCaches, such as content publishers, LEAs or RBCs.

ContentCache Central allows an authorised Local Education Authority Administrator to: deploy content; view and change settings; monitor statistics & performance;
install software updates from Avantis, software patches and security fixes. This can be conducted on individual caches or on a multitude of caches at the same time.

ContentCache Central can manage edge caches but can also be used to manage hierarchichal caches at the LEA and even at hub locations between LEA and schools.

ContentCache Central offers the following powerful key features:

Empowering the Edge Cache
Unlike competitive content delivery systems, the ContentCache Central system
requires no additional hardware other than the edge cache. Under control of the
ContentCache Central software, ContentCache edge caches are fully empowered
to retrieve all the content they require to achieve content delivery. Additional upstream hierarchical cache layers need only operate as dynamic web caches to provide the full acceleration and bandwidth saving benefits of a hierarchical
content delivery system.

Remote Administration
Provides a single User Interface through which one or many ContentCache appliances can be remotely administered and monitored.

Minimise Unnecessary Engineer Site Visits
Deployment of ContentCache Central reduces the need for engineers to visit site to
change settings or install content saving time, money and trouble.

Content Delivery
You can set up centrally managed content jobs and content channels/categories
which can then be deployed to one or more ContentCache edge caches, to implement content delivery.

UK Publisher Bespoke Support
ContentCache Central can deploy non-standard content from leading UK education
publishers such as Granada Learning, Espresso, Kar2ouche, Sherston.

Firewall Safe

ContentCache Central communicates with the caches on a pull basis initiated by the
caches themselves using HTTP on port 80. These communications pass through firewalls without the need for reconfiguration.

Instant Response
Unlike competitive solutions, the ContentCache Central system displays live information. Settings are implemented instantly when applied.

Software Only
Quick to install with no additional expensive hardware.

Windows Application
Provides a superior faster mechanism to view and control the large volume of
information presented in a system of this kind. Far superior to web based central management and content delivery systems.

Deploy Software Updates and Patches
ContentCache Central can be used to deploy new software versions to one or more
ContentCache appliances.

All these features add up to a powerful tool for LEA administrators saving thousands of pounds in engineer time.
