SurfKit Cache
cross-platform client side managed cache
enabling operators to provide a managed cache environment for 3rd party applications to utilise. This provides a high performance, robust and managed method for moving data to the device for consumption by browsers or applications. The SurfKit Cache takes advantage of the comprehensive server side infrastructure from SurfKitchen, enabling the Cache to benefit from the subscriber segmentation, asynchronous updates, device targeting and reporting for the rapid development and deployment of new services
With mobile internet well and truly here, users want to choose from the increasingly broad range of available services. New media such as user generated content and social networking is also high on users’ wish lists for accessing web services on mobile. However this demand for data puts increasing pressure on the mobile networks, and increasing complexity for the service develoment
Operator focus is on simplifying access to data services and enabling users to make personal choices about the services they want on their phone. Operators are looking to make a broad range of services available across a wide range of devices.
SurfKit Cache provides this single managed data repository on the device - managing the complex tasks of optimised data transfer, subscriber segments, battery optimisation. 3rd Party applications on the device then interact with the Cache, consolidating the data intensive tasks to the SurfKit Cache.
