Distributed Caching Topologies

Distributed caching topologies define the strategy for data storage in a clustered cache. They refer to the behavior of a cache cluster under different circumstances. NCache provides various topologies; Mirrored, Replicated, Partitioned, and Partition-Replica to balance linear scalability with high-performance reliability based on specific application requirements.

The variety of distributed caching topologies cater to the needs of applications requiring linear scalability in terms of storage and transaction load, as well as high availability.

In This Section

Partitioned Topologies
This section explains how data is distributed across nodes for maximum storage capacity and transaction throughput using Partitioned and Partition-Replica models.

Replicated Topology
This section explains the strategy where the entire cache is replicated to every node, ensuring high availability for environments with high read operations.

Mirrored Topology
This section explains the two-node active-passive failover strategy for data redundancy and reliability.

Scalability in Caching Topologies
This section explains how different caching topologies scale out linearly to better process increased transaction loads and data volume.
