PRZOOM - /newswire/ - San Ramon, CA, United States, 2010/06/09 - Alachisoft today announces the release of NCache – a distributed caching solution. The new version, NCache 3.8, is announced at TechEd 2010.

Apart from NCache features, here are newly added functionalities in NCache 3.8:

1. LINQ Support in NCache
NCache provides LINQ integration with the help of IQueryable interface which allows the cached items to be searchable. NCache now supports both Lambda Expressions and LINQ operators for querying cached items.

2. Entity Framework (EF) Caching
Seamless integration with EF caching where you gets plugged-in at the ADO level and your application can use NCache caching without any code change. Only change in the application configuration file is required.

3. .NET Cache Provider 4.0
Integration with .NET cache provider 4.0 – with Change Monitors (file based, key based, database dependency) for managing cache dependencies.

4. Backward Compatibility Client API/Support
Backward compatibility protocol and in future version application will be able to connect to newer versions without upgrading the clients.

5. Streaming API
Streaming support in the API, where you can read and write binary data stream in the cache. NCache has implemented a CacheStream which is derived from the standard Stream and provides major functionality of streaming in NCache.

6. Java/CSS minification
NCache combines multiple JavaScript files and CSS files into a single resource file and place it in the cache and it also replace the source file with single HTTP reference for all CSS and JS files so that browser makes just a single call for loading all the resources. This gives applications a performance boost.

7. ViewState Caching
NCache replaces the long ViewState string into a smaller one and send it to the client which helps improve the application performance and saves bandwidth.

8. New NCache Live Monitoring Tool

9. NCache Email Alert System
Receive alerts through emails on certain cache events like “State Transfer”, Cache Stopped, Member Left, Member Joined etc.,

Multiple readthru and writethru providers supported. NCache Manager automatically deploys the data source assemblies into the deployed folder so you don’t have to manually copy the provider assemblies in NCache service folder.

Partitioned Replica Topology now supports Synchronous replication.

13. Security Configuration command line tool
You can now configure security through command line tool.
