The adage “640 KB ought to be enough for anybody” used to be widely accepted. There is some disagreement over who said it, but there is now universal agreement that no one can ever know what “enough” in computing means. Because of this, you must delete or evict some cached data when you set up…
Securing cached data in a multi-data center environment is paramount. There’s no denying that. But is securing data enough to ensure you have secured your cache environment? I’d beg to differ; it’s not nearly enough. Along with data security, you need to make sure your cache and server nodes are safe from unauthorized access as well.…
Distributed caches are designed to be deployed in massive data centers, where every user has direct access to the data stored in the cache or traveling over the network. This simple functionality is problematic where your application has to cache sensitive data and it simply cannot afford to allow administrative and API access rights on…
You, I, and even John next door know that machine learning has made your machines “smarter” by predicting future outcomes, using the data fed to them. ML.NET is the de facto standard in .NET for machine learning, that allows you to train models upfront and make predictions accurately. Let’s suppose you have an ML.NET application…
For high transaction applications with complex architectures, continuously interchanging data causes a non-uniform load and delay in throughput.
Gone are the days when one of your servers crashed and you had to reconfigure it from the ground up. This would include a tedious, manual process from inspecting hardware malfunctions to software glitches. Now, organizations have adopted on-prem scripting tools to automate tasks and shifted the provisioning of IT infrastructure to cloud. However, this…
Azure Service Fabric makes the deployment, management, and packaging of scalable and reliable microservice applications very easy and efficient. It simplifies the development and management of cloud applications as well as reliably scale and orchestrate services. Azure Service Fabric’s purpose is to provide developers with a very rich platform that addresses many of the problems…
Databases and caches go hand in hand and have been in a close association for a long time now. Caches as the middle tier reduce pressure on your databases by keeping your data in the cache for faster processing. NCache is an in-memory distributed caching solution for your .NET and Java applications. For years, NCache…
Today’s applications are highly transactional and can scale for high transactions by running in a load-balanced, multi-server deployment. At the same time, many of these applications need to run in multiple data centers. This could be done for disaster recovery, where one active data center has disaster recovery as a passive data center that is…
