Install NCache for .NET Core

Note

The minimum required .NET Core version is 3.0.

NCache provides the following deployment configuration of NCache as follows:

2 or More Cache Servers

This installs both server and client portion of NCache software. You must install this on 2 or more servers for reliability. These can be dedicated servers or your web/app servers. For 3 or more web/app server environments, we recommend a dedicated caching tier. In this case, we recommend a 4:1 or 5:1 ratio between web/app servers and cache servers.

If you’re installing NCache server on your web/app servers, then make sure you have sufficient memory and CPU power available for both your application and NCache.

Remote Clients

This installs the remote client libraries. Install this on all your web/app servers from where you want to remotely access the cache servers. Do not install it on cache servers.

Please refer to the Installation Guide for more detail on Installation.
