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…
Today’s applications need to scale and handle extreme levels of transaction loads. But, databases are unable to scale and therefore become a bottleneck. To resolve this, many people are turning to in-memory distributed cache because it scales linearly and removes the database bottlenecks. A distributed cache typically contains two types of data, transactional data, and…
ASP.NET Output Cache is a mechanism provided by Microsoft that allows you to keep an in-memory copy of the rendered content of the ASP.NET page. Due to this, ASP.NET can serve the subsequent user requests for this page from an in-memory cached copy instead of re-executing this page which can be quite expensive due to…
It is a fact of life that organizations have different applications using different versions of the same classes because they were developed at different points in time and are unable to keep up. It is also a fact of life that these applications often need to share data with each other. You can do this…
Today, distributed cache is widely used to achieve scalability and performance in high traffic applications. Distributed cache offloads your database servers by serving cached data from in-memory store. In addition, few distributed caches also provide you SQL-like query capability, which you can easily query your distributed cache the way you query your database i.e. “SELECT employee…
Today many organizations use .NET and Java technologies to develop different high traffic applications. At the same time, these applications not only have a need to share data with each other, but also want to support runtime sharing of different version of the same class for backward compatibility and cost reduction. The most common way…
High traffic real time applications are widely used in the enterprise environment. In real-time applications, information is made available to you in moments it’s produced and any delay in doing so can cause a serious financial loss. The main challenge faced by these high traffic real time applications is to get notified about any changes…
