NCache Newsletter

Memcached is a popular open source distributed cache but has limitations in high availability and reliability. It does not provide dynamic cache cluster configuration or cache replication. And, this adds serious risk of down-time for mission critical applications.

NCache-Memcached Appliance removes all these limitations and is 100% Memcached compatible for .NET and Java. And, it provides dynamic clustering, scalable replication, and powerful monitoring.

So, if you're not ready or able to make code changes to migrate your Memcached application to NCache and take advantage of its powerful caching features, you can easily plug-in NCache-Memcached Appliance into your application without making any code changes.

NCache Enterprise 3.6
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Boosting the performance of an ASP.NET application is a challenging task for every developer. Although the built-in tools provided with .NET Framework are sufficient for small-scale projects, large applications demand a dedicated product like NCache, which can significantly enhance the speed of .NET applications by employing simple techniques programmatically.

Developed by California-based AlachiSoft (www.alachisoft.com), the product unleashes a new era among distributed caching mechanisms by taking care of both static and transactional application data, thereby reducing round trips between database servers.

In some cases NCache service fails to start on 64-bit boxes. This normally happens on servers where either there is no Internet connectivity or the firewall blocks port 80 and 443.

NCache uses code-signed assemblies i.e. these assemblies have certificates attached with them. When the .NET Common Language Runtime loads these code-signed assemblies to start the NCache service, it tries to verify these certificates from the locally available Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
