Pre-caching is a powerful feature in Cloudpaging, but it’s important to use it selectively for the best results. Not all applications benefit equally from pre-caching, and using it indiscriminately can lead to unnecessary network and storage usage.

It is recommended enabling pre-caching for large applications—specifically, any appset over 10GB in size. These applications typically have longer load times and higher demand, so pre-caching can significantly improve user experience by reducing wait times and ensuring smoother launches.

Applications Commonly Pre-Cached

While this is not an exhaustive list, the following applications are excellent candidates for pre-caching due to their size and complexity:

  • Adobe Creative Cloud (CC)

  • ANSYS

  • ArcGIS

  • Autodesk Applications

  • Matlab

  • SAS

  • Solidworks (Educational)

  • Unity

By focusing pre-caching efforts on these larger, resource-intensive applications, you can optimize performance and provide a better experience for your users. For smaller applications, standard on-demand delivery is usually sufficient and more efficient.
