These days, many companies are running both .NET and Java applications in their enterprise environment. Often these applications need to share data with each other at runtime. The most common way they do that today is by storing the data in the database and having the other application poll and look for it. Some people…
Microsoft Azure provides a platform for ASP.NET applications in the cloud. Very often, these applications are high transaction and mission-critical in nature. Therefore, it is very important that these applications are scalable and result in no data loss if a web server goes down at any time. NCache Details …
Many high-traffic ASP.NET applications in Microsoft Azure are deployed over multiple Microsoft Azure regions in order to handle geographically separated traffic. In these situations, the load balancer always sends traffic to the Microsoft Azure region closest to the user for faster response time. In this scenario, you may run into a situation where you have…
NHibernate is a popular object-relational mapping (ORM) solution for .NET applications because it simplifies your database programming. As a result, many high-traffic applications use NHibernate and, thus, face scalability bottlenecks in the database. To tackle this, NHibernate provides a caching infrastructure so that applications can use an in-memory cache store instead and prevent exhausting their…
Web applications today handle millions of users simultaneously. Regardless of this high traffic, you need to maintain the high performance for your users. You can use an in-memory distributed cache to achieve this performance goal, as it is faster than accessing the database. A distributed cache also provides scalability by allowing you to add cache…
ASP.NET is known for developing high-traffic web applications. Many of these applications are deployed to multiple geographical locations. This multi-site deployment is done either for disaster recovery purposes or for handling regional traffic by having the ASP.NET application closer to the end user. In the case of disaster recovery, there is usually one active site…
Today, web applications are increasingly using distributed cache for boosting performance and scalability by caching frequently used data so as to reduce expensive database trips. Distributed cache spans and synchronizes over multiple cache servers to let you scale in a linear fashion. A good distributed cache usually has a Cache Dependency feature to let you…
In-memory distributed cache today has become really popular for applications running in a multi-server environment because it helps improve application scalability and performance. Until .NET Framework 3.5 there was ASP.NET Cache object available only for web application under System.Web.Caching namespace. But, in .NET Framework 4.0, .NET 4.0 Cache is added under System.Runtime.Caching namespace for all…
ASP.NET today is widely used for high traffic web applications that need to handle millions of users and are deployed in load balanced web farms. One important part of ASP.NET is View State that many applications use. ASP.NET View State is a very powerful mechanism that stores pages, controls and custom values between multiple HTTP…
