Maybe your office have an branch where it is very distance/lengthy from your office, maybe your remote office is connected via very low bandwidth link because high bandwidth low latency link is very high in cost. In this article we are going to see using branchcache CIFS Netapp Cluster mode and 7 mode.
BranchCache
Using BranchCache CIFS – Netapp
Using BranchCache CIFS After you configure BranchCache on the storage system and at the branch office, you can enable BranchCache on each CIFS share that contains content that you want to allow clients at branch offices to cache.
BranchCache caching is enabled on a share-by-share basis. You can use the cifs shares -add or cifs shares -change commands to enable BranchCache on the CIFS share. If you enable caching on an existing CIFS share, Data ONTAP begins computing hashes and sending metadata to clients requesting content as soon as you enable BranchCache on that share.
Note: If BranchCache on a CIFS share is subsequently disabled, Data ONTAP stops sending metadata to the requesting client. A client that needs data retrieves it directly from the content server (storage system).
