We at alachisoft as developers of NCache are really happy that Microsoft has decided to enter this arena. For years we have been trying to spread awareness about distributed caching on our own. Now that Microsoft has announced its CTP2, things will undoubtedly become much more interesting.

NCache is the first distributed object and session caching solution for .Net Apps. It has been in the market for more than three years. People in various fortune 500 companies are using it right now as this post is being read. With its wide range of features NCache delivers today what velocity promises tomorrow.

NCache has a 60 day trial period for the enterprise and developer editions. There is also a totally free version called NCache Express
