The NCache team is excited to announce the release of NCache Open Source 5.0 SP6 on April 24, 2024, bringing important updates to the feature set and capabilities.
With a focus on Local Cache topology, this release brings high-speed performance by running the cache directly inside your application’s memory. Complexity is reduced with a single client connection limit, making it easier than ever to test and develop without worrying about multi-client conflicts. Additionally, with a generous 4 GB cache size per machine, you have ample room to store and access your data quickly during development and small-scale use.

Local Topology
The Open Source edition now focuses on Local Topology, a standalone cache that runs on a single machine. This means faster response times and simpler setup, especially with the InProc mode, where the cache runs inside the application’s memory space, making data access faster without serialization overhead.
Single Client Connection
Starting with SP6, a maximum of one client can connect to the cache at a time in the Open Source edition. This allows developers to test and evaluate NCache in isolated environments without the complexity of multi-client scenarios.
4 GB Cache Size Per Machine
The combined cache size on a single machine supports up to 4 GB in the Open Source edition. This provides ample room for development and testing while maintaining optimal performance for lightweight use cases.
