Through this configuration option, you can specify an upper limit on size of the cache in MB. The number of items in cache are limited by maximum size of the cache and amount of free system memory (virtual or physical). If some eviction policy is specified, whenever total data size in cache reaches maximum size or when lesser than 10% of memory is left in the system, items are removed from the cache as per eviction policy. Maximum size of a cache can be specified by one of following two ways.
NCache Manager:
You can specify cache max size for a Cache on Main Tab of its view window.
Config.ncconf:
You can specify the cache max size through Config.ncconf as follows.
<cache-config name="mypartitionedcache" inproc="False" config-id="1" last-modified="6/20/2010 3:50:34 PM">
<storage type="heap" cache-size="250mb"/>
</cache-config>
