NCache Memcached Plug-In and Gateway Support

Memcached is a simple in-memory key-value store providing basic features for caching. Memcached server communicates with Memcached clients using defined text or binary protocol. Memcached servers are stand-alone servers with no clustering or distributed caching features to provide scalability.

NCache has implemented Memcached integration and you can plug-in NCache to your existing or new Memcached applications without any code changes. You only need to change your application configuration files to take advantage of NCache distributed caching system. NCache provides support for Memcached in two different ways described later in the chapter.
