In order to provide the latest improvements and best performance, we at MARA Systems always try to use the latest stable 64-bit Linux kernel for our caching products and update it periodically as new releases are available. Using the latest Linux kernel, we are also able to support the ATA Trim command for SSDs, which ensures a consistently high write performance on SSDs.

Due to the 64-bit architecture, processes like the HTTP proxy are no longer limited to 4 GB RAM. The Linux Kernel and the HTTP proxy on CacheMARA can use all available memory for caching (64 GB and more). This results in much larger possible cache storage sizes, cluster sizes and increased performance.
