Dear all,

        We are pleased to announce that the fourth cache-off is on the
way. Preliminary Call for Participation and information about the
organizational meeting are available at

        http://cacheoff.measurement-factory.com/

We hope that the last cache-off participants will continue to support
their leadership claims with verifiable performance results. We
request that vendors that skipped the last cache-off and promised to
participate in the next one will do so (you know who you are!).
Needless to say, new entries are always welcome.

We are aware of and specifically invite the following companies and
organizations:

        ARA Networks InfoLibria
        CacheFlow Lucent
        CinTel Microbits
        Cisco Microsoft
        Compaq NAIST
        Dell Network Appliance
        F5 Squid
        IBM Stratacache
        iMimic Valera
        iPlanet Swell Technology

Please let us know who we missed. Participation is open.

We are quite aware that this CFP comes at a time when many caching
companies have difficulty spending money on anything, including
performance work. While participating in the cache-offs is still a
high priority for some, we hope that others will catch-up by
September, when event registration is required. We strongly encourage
every potential participant to attend the organizational meeting.

If you want to participate or give feedback, please e-mail us.
If you want a certain product to be represented, make sure to e-mail
the vendor (and cc us)!

Thanks,

Alex.
