And Alfresco Geo-Caching by it-novum also makes your IT team happy

  • Configure intelligent distribution mechanisms to predict usage - Documents can be distributed automatically, using a search-based logic. Digital assets can be selected for pre-fetching based on metadata, storage location or even more complex criteria. All relevant documents are regularly transferred to the relevant cache.
  • Unnecessary complexity in your IT infrastructure is avoided - it-novum Geo-Caching can be deployed to remote sites using container technologies (e.g. Kubernetes, Docker). In addition to that, Alfresco Content Services always performs a health check before redirecting to a local cache. Sta- tistics and KPI’s can be used to improve configurations over time.
  • Easy integration thanks to REST API’s - it-novum Geo-Caching was built for today and designed for tomorrow. It provides a smart REST API which allows you to integrate your custom applications (e.g. built on Alfresco Development Framework).
