What is an intended outcome of maintaining a local cache for Tanium Cloud clients?

Maintaining a local cache for Tanium Cloud clients is primarily aimed at improving performance for file retrieval on subsequent requests. When data is cached locally, the system does not need to fetch the same information from the server repeatedly. Instead, it can quickly access the already-stored data from the local cache, which significantly reduces the time required for file retrieval and enhances the overall responsiveness of the Tanium platform. This efficiency makes querying and accessing data faster, especially for frequently requested information, leading to a better user experience and optimized resource usage.

The other options, while they may have some relevance in broader contexts, do not directly relate to the intended outcome of local caching. For example, server trust levels and client requirements come from different operational and organizational practices rather than from caching mechanisms. Similarly, while local caching may reduce reliance on external storage, its primary advantage is the speed enhancement it provides during file retrieval processes. Thus, improved performance is the most closely aligned intended outcome of local caching.
