One of the primary challenges of distributed caching is managing data relationships. For example, it is often unclear to users how to map and store relational data in a cache, given that the data has no relational model and is stored as a key-value pair. Further, most applications employing caching are heavily dependent on database…
Nowadays, every business application is using caching to improve data retrieval performance and reduce the need to get data directly from the database. Since databases started to slow down modern web applications, a variety of data caching techniques have been proposed. Data caching helps address the issue of database scalability and performance, but it also…
Distributed cache is becoming very popular because it is a powerful way to boost your application performance and scalability and handle extreme transaction load without slowing down. Both .NET and Java applications are using it more and more each day. But, one challenge people face with distributed cache is how to map and store relational…
NCache, an in-memory distributed cache, keeps your data intact in a temporary storage for a faster experience of read and write operations. We have seen NCache do wonders with the speed when it comes to performing operations on the cache store. However, keeping NCache synchronized with the main data source is a major challenge when…
ASP.NET web applications, .NET web service applications, and other .NET server applications need to handle extreme transaction loads without slowing down. Although their application tier scales linearly, the data storage and database tier does not scale and therefore becomes a bottleneck. As a result, the entire application cannot scale. Originally, simple in-memory distributed key-value stores…
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…
Distributed caching is becoming really popular among developers of high transaction applications because it improves your application’s performance and scalability. And, this popularity means that developers are caching more and more data in it which they also want to be able to search just like they are able to search relational databases. But, one major…
Distributed Caching has become a popular way of improving .NET application performance and scalability. That is why developers are caching more and more data in distributed cache. However along with this come a few challenges. One important challenge is to ensure that data in the cache is always synchronized with the database. This is because…
