3. The enterprise is having to support multiple browsers
But hasn’t it always been that way
With the release of Windows 8 and IE 11 Microsoft made changes to the WinInet subsystem
Responsible for internet comms for user facing applications
Uses a database – webcachev01.dat – to store/reference data
Browser talks to database which references files on disk
More data moving into the database – as of Windows there are no cookie files – all cookies stored in the database
Database spawns at 24/32MB and grows as the system is used (GB files are not uncommon)
The enterprise is having to support multiple browsers
Home devices mean people want the same experience they have at home
Chrome is the main home browser today
Not all browsers render all web pages
Chrome and Firefox use their own databases – twice the amount of data.

4. Performance Network Disk / SAN Resultant Issues
I thought we had sorted the problem of profile bloat!
Increased login times
With WebData Control we have seen reductions up to 90% for login time
Browser launch times
General Web Browsing
Network
Transferring Gigabytes of data at logon / logoff
Disk / SAN
Increased SAN storage required or expensive cloud storage
Lots of small cookie files hits SAN performance – IOPs
Windows 10 webcache files are twice the size of Windows 7

5. Each logon browses 300 websites
