NetCache
NetCache is a web cache software product which was owned and developed by NetApp between 1997 and 2006, and a hardware product family incorporating the NetCache software.
History
The NetCache software started as a commercial fork of the Harvest Object Cache[1] developed by Internet Middleware Corporation (IMC), which consisted of former Harvest project developers including Peter B. Danzig, a professor at University of Southern California.[2] In late 1996 the software was named Internet Middleware Object Cache,[3] and it was referred to as Cached 2 and later Cached 3.[4][5]
In 1997 IMC was acquired by NetApp, and the software was renamed NetCache, with Danzig becoming chief architect and CTO of NetCache division.[2]
NetApp sold the product line to Blue Coat Systems in 2006.[6][7]
