Boost .NET App Performance & Scalability

Remove performance bottlenecks and scale up your .NET applications to extreme transaction processing (XTP). NCache provides multiple powerful mechanisms for boosting .NET application performance and scalability.

Distributed In-Memory Object Cache

Distributed cache, the core engine of NCache, is extremely fast and scalable. Cache both static and transactional application data and reduce expensive database trips. NCache synchronizes cache updates across multiple servers.

  • Scale up with Mirrored, Replicated, Partitioned, and Client Cache topologies
  • Software appliance for Caching Application Block
  • Software appliance for NHibernate

Distributed ASP.NET Session State Cache

Built on the distributed caching core, this module provides an extremely scalable ASP.NET Session State storage for apps running in a server farm with a load balancer

  • Remove session storage bottlenecks and scale up ASP.NET Session State
  • Faster & more scalable than StateServer & SQLServer
  • Highly reliable thru session replication
  • Software appliance (No code change required)
