Install NCache

NCache Professional provides multiple deployment configurations which have been explained briefly in the following paragraphs:

Note

The minimum required .NET version for installation is .NET 6.0.

2 or More Cache Servers

This installs both the 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 the 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 details on Installation.
