NCache [1] is an open source distributed cache for .NET, also known as an in-memory data grid. It is developed by Alachisoft that is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.[2] [3].
NCache is used by .NET server applications to cache application data. These .NET server applications include ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core Web Apps, Web Services, and Microservices. Web applications also store their web sessions in NCache [4].
NCache is an in-memory data store that distributes data in a cluster of multiple cache servers. Data is also replicated (backed up) to other cache servers in the cluster to prevent data loss in case a cache server goes down
Usage
Typical use cases for NCache include:
- Application scaling
- ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core web session clustering
- Pub/Sub messaging
- Entity Framework Core cache
- NHibernate cache
- SignalR backplane[5]
- Distributed cache, often in front of a database[6] [7] [8]
- In-memory data grid[9]
- Key-value database
- Memcached alternative with a protocol compatible interface
- Microservices architecture
- NoSQL data store
- AppFabric wrapper
