Distributed Caching Topologies

A distributed caching topology defines the strategy for data storage in a clustered cache. It refers to the behavior of a cache cluster under different circumstances. These behavioral specifications help choose the cache topology that best suits the environment of an application.

The variety of distributed caching topologies cater to the needs of applications requiring linear scalability in terms of storage and transaction load, as well as high availability.
