E-Rate

The Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund, commonly known as the E-Rate program, makes discounts available to eligible schools and libraries for telecommunications services, Internet access and internal connections. As part of the E-Rate Modernization Order adopted in 2014, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) added caching servers, such as SAFARI Montage servers, to the Eligible Services List. The order recognizes that caching servers can serve to optimize network resources, such as Internet bandwidth, resulting in more efficient use of E-Rate funding.

NOTE: If using the server to support a WAN, the server is 91% Eligible.
