In this example, BranchCache is deployed at one main office and two branch offices. The branch office deployments are:

  • In branch office 1, BranchCache is deployed in distributed cache mode and client computers cache content they have downloaded from the main office content server.

  • In branch office 2, BranchCache is deployed in hosted cache mode and a hosted cache server caches content that client computers have downloaded from the main office content server.

In the following illustration, BranchCache is deployed in both modes.

Note
