Boost .NET App Performance & Scalability
Remove performance bottlenecks and scale up your .NET applications to extreme transaction processing (XTP). NCache provides multiple powerful mechanisms for boosting .NET application performance and scalability.
Distributed In-Memory Object Cache
Distributed cache, the core engine of NCache, is extremely fast and scalable. Cache both static and transactional application data and reduce expensive database trips. NCache synchronizes cache updates across multiple servers.
- Scale up with Mirrored, Replicated, Partitioned, and Client Cache topologies
- Software appliance for Caching Application Block
- Software appliance for NHibernate
Distributed ASP.NET Session State Cache
Built on the distributed caching core, this module provides an extremely scalable ASP.NET Session State storage for apps running in a server farm with a load balancer
- Remove session storage bottlenecks and scale up ASP.NET
- Faster & more scalable than StateServer & SQLServer
- Highly reliable thru session replication
- Software appliance (No code change required)
Distributed ASP.NET Output Cache
Built on the distributed caching core, this module provides an extremely scalable page output caching for ASP.NET apps running in a server farm with a load balancer.
- Accelerate ASP.NET by caching dynamic content
- More scalable and easier management for web farms
- Software appliance (no code change required)
