    Re: Improve Windows 7 network performance via Transparent Caching

    IT professionals can take advantage of the Windows 7 file sharing enhancements to further improve user productivity in branch offices. Windows 7 provides:

    • Transparent caching on client computers for shared folders, reducing the time required to access files for the second and subsequent times across a slow network. This is combined with protocol enhancements that eliminate multiple, redundant network operations when opening or saving files to provide an improved application experience across slow networks.
    • Background synchronization capabilities for offline files, reducing administrative overhead and enhancing end-user experience.
