Java Cache Installer

This page guides you through the options available to Install NCache when they should employed, along with where you can find further details about the installation process.

Note

To learn about the supported Java versions, please refer to the NCache Installation Guide.

Java Cache Installation Type

NCache provides the following deployment configuration:

Cache Servers

This installs the server portion of NCache software. You must install this on atleast 2 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 an NCache server on your web/app servers, then make sure you have sufficient memory and CPU power available for both your application and NCache.

For the NCache server mode installation, run the following command. Notice that -m server indicates Cache Server installation.

sudo ./install -f John -l Smith -e johnsmith@yourdomain.com -c your_company_name -k XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -m server

Remote Clients

This installs the remote client with NCache Service to host the InProc/OutProc Client Cache Installation. Install this on all your web/app servers from where you want to remotely access the cache servers.

Installing NCache Client involves the same steps as for the Server mode. To differentiate, simply write -m client instead of -m server.

sudo ./install -f John -l Smith -e johnsmith@yourdomain.com -c your_company_name -m client

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