Cache Settings

NCache provides granular control over distributed cache configurations to ensure maximum performance optimization and efficient memory management. You can create and configure cache settings via the NCache Management Center (Web UI), PowerShell Command Line (CLI), or by manually modifying the client.ncconf file to meet specific application requirements.
