Cache server for .NET(Example Memcached)

Question

I am looking for cache server for .NET. What can you suggest? As i know memcached has provider for .net. Is it good enough to use for .net in production?

Answer 1

though there are numbers of third party caching solutions are available for .NET but if we narrow done the research based upon Google and word of mouth, it might be 1) Memcached 2) Appfabric 3) NCache

firs two are free/open source software so they have some limitations in it, while on the other hand NCache has a lot to offer as compared to others, but you have to buy it. but it has also a free version available called as NCache Express. below are two important links in this regard,
