client side caching in Win 2003 server cluster

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Hello,
I have a 4 node server cluster running win 2003 server. It is used for
file and print (home/file shares ect.). We are experiencing performance
peaks on the server, which include high utilisation of memory, high disk
I/O etc.

I understand win2003 clusters support client side cahing. Is this
something, if enabled, could help reduce the cluster resource
utilisation?

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

C
