NCache Manager
NCache can now also be managed and configured via a web-based application known as NCache Manager, which allows you to smoothly perform managerial tasks like creating cache, adding server/clients, monitoring and more. It is installed on all cache servers and clients by default with NCache's installation.
NCache Manager is ASP.NET Core based and, therefore, can run on Windows as well as Linux.

NCache Manager supports the latest versions of the following Internet browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Opera
- Internet Explorer 11 (Please make sure latest version is installed). For IE, you need to add the following URLs to IE trusted sites (Read here to learn how to add URLs to trusted sites):

http://(IPV4):8251
where IPV4 is the IP address of the machine (local or remote) on which the NCache Manager process is running.
