SpiderSoftware SpiderBox

SpiderSoftware has taken its content-caching software and put it in a box -- the SpiderBox. The company says this appliance will make your servers faster and smarter, increasing the number of users on your server by a factor of 5 and speeding content delivery by 40 times over a standalone server. In addition to caching static and rich media content, SpiderBox caches dynamic content, which up to now has only been done with server-side software. The device also offers partial page dynamic content caching. Starts at $9,000.
