Branch Office Solution

LIke a lot of you, I'm working towards consolidating exchange servers out of 
Branch Offices.  Part of that solution is to use Outlook 2003 in Exchange 
Cached Mode to give a good user experience with Exchange. 

 

I see a few products which help resolve some of the WAN issues created by this 
configuration.  

Losing connectivity to the main office will mean email will not flow for 
traffic between branch office employees. 

WAN link saturation at certain times or when large attachments are sent to 
multiple users.  

 

One is

http://www.cemaphore.com - it is a software solution which is a mapi server at 
the branch office which intelligently caches from the main office.  Users 
directly connect to the cemaphore server and it works just like Exchange. 

 

Does anyone have experience with that?  Or what about solutions like 
www.perbit.com?  It operates more at the network leve. 

 

Thanks, 

C
