NCache

[HankWangford]

looking at a soltuion for distributed session/cache on an asp.net 2.0 application. Want to avoid sticky switch hardware and am looking into ncache. Anybody got any experience with this or have used similar software???

Any specific requirements, Hank..?

I think the key is 'Integration with MS Enterprise Library 2005/2006 CAB (New)'.... The Enterprise Library provides Entity Caching out of the box - didn't have time to look at the whole website, but perhaps they are utilising the standard features of Ent Library. The .NetTiers architecture enables Entity Tracking - so you get one instance between requests... as for an Object Querying language, Ill wait for Linq for Entities....

Main requirements are to move the current single web server to n boxes and maintain session across all without moving to sql session provider.
I prefer the feel of a replicated in memory cache also instead of each web server maintaining it's own backing store. We do use the ent lib for logging, encryption and exception handling. Does the caching provide the replication across machines?

Even better than that, I've dug out my copy of "distributed operating systems" and read the chapter on distributed filesystems... Ideas coming now...
