Moneysupermarket.com – caches in
ApplianSys today announced that Moneysupermarket.com – the UK’s leading finance and travel comparison website – has purchased additional DNSBOX slaves for its rapidly expanding network. The ability of additional slaves to simply ‘plug’ into a growing network demonstrates the scalability of the ApplianSys DNS solution.
Moneysupermarket also purchased several CACHEBOX appliances, which come from the same stable of ‘rock solid’ appliances. CACHEBOX, a performance web caching appliance, will help Moneysupermarket reduce bandwidth usage and costs.
“Some people feel caching is not relevant if you have access to high capacity and relatively cheap bandwidth. Businesses like Moneysupermarket.com, a major online retailer, disagree,” said Steven Tee, CACHEBOX Product Manager. “The right action is making better use of your existing capacity rather than just adding more pipes and continuing to waste bandwidth and money.”
The Moneysupermarket.com website attracts over 60 million visitors a year and enables consumers to search for, and compare, a wide range of financial and service products across a wide variety of markets. This free service helps them find the product most suited to their requirements and budget.
