Sophos Central - Update cache

[MatthewL]

Does anyone use an update cache server on their network for Sophos to reduce your outgoing internet traffic?

 

We have recently implemented one to reduce traffic hitting our internet connection but have an issue when physically installing the Sophos on a device it takes forever yet disabled the network on the device it flies through install and reenable and it updates.

 

Just wondered if anyone else had any issues with the cache? Were on the verge of binning it off but want to reduce some of what goes out over the internet in places.

I set up the cache - not sure whether or not it is being used for devices or not - but i've not seen a delay - when are you getting the delay? when you install any sophos client ?

Yeah when installing the client after imaging it takes for ever, disconnect it from the network in the office or VPN if at home and it flies at installing.
