Our hardware appliances use selected enterprise grade parts. The appliances boot from a 8 GB industrial solid state disk to ensure high performance and reliability. This feature allows the appliances to continue to work even if some or all of the other disks fail.
More than 90% of http requests are usually for small objects. They are served from ultra high performance Solid State Disks (SSDs). The middle and large sized objects are served from traditional enterprise 24/7 hard disks.

The Requests/second and Mbits/second are performance numbers from real customer scenarios. These performance numbers have also been verified in our internal performance test lab. We can guarantee to provide you with high quality products. CacheMARA hardware appliances deliver at least these performance numbers in real customer scenarios.
MARA Systems currently offers five models which differ by the OS, form factor, performance and storage capacity. You can combine several of these hardware appliances to create a cache cluster. Using intercache communication protocols the total cluster cache space is approximately the sum of the individual total cache spaces. Example: If you chose 5 x model XL then you will have a total cluster cache space of approximately 100 TB.
As a general guideline we recommend using a configuration with a "total cluster cache space" that is large enough to store at least 1 week of your http traffic. This approach allows for optimal caching hit rate and traffic savings.
MARA Systems does not restrict its customers to fix-sized appliances. We are confident that we offer a very good range of quality hardware appliances to fit most needs. Each ISP has its own infrastructure and needs, so CacheMARA will be especially tailored to your needs, preventing you from spending additional money on an over-sized solution. We can offer tailored hardware solutions featuring the most recent technologies (using SATA or SAS Drives, SSDs or even SANs).
