A Great Technology, or a Fix for Bad Designs
NCache seems to get gaining momentum as a tool to improve performance of your application. A grid like higher performing virtual memory cache, NCache allows you to reduce the number of trips necessary to utilize slower persistence technologies such as a database.
It integrates with common database ORM tools simplifying integration into your application.
It also works well with web farms as a shared session state storage amongst other things nicely shared among servers in a web farm.
It’s supposed to be fast, self healin/redundant, and able to span multiple locations.
So, is it a framework that you integrate into your architecture from the beginning, or a bandaid you tack on to a poorly performing infrastructure? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below, or drop an Email to btaylor@sswug.org.
