At least one cache is disposed logically between the core and the at least one edge device. The cache has a prefetch policy that selects from among the content units based upon at least one prefetch criterion selected from the group consisting of: a source that wrote an evaluated content unit; a size of an evaluated content unit; a content type of an evaluated content unit; when the prefetch is performed subsequent to a request to access at least one of the plurality of content units, an identity of the requestor; when the prefetch is performed subsequent to a request to access at least one of the content units stored at a first time, proximity of a time at which an evaluated content unit was stored relative to the first time; and metadata written with the evaluated content unit.
