Abstract
The described method and system enables a client at a branch office to retrieve data from a local hosted cache instead of an application server over a WAN to improve latency and reduce overall WAN traffic. A server at the data center may be adapted to provide either a list of hashes or the requested data based on whether a hosted cache system is enabled. A hosted cache at the client side may provide the data to the client based on the hashes. The hashes may be generated to provide a fingerprint of the data which may be used to index the data in an efficient manner.
