Memcached has the benefit of having been used on some of the biggest sites in the world and it has a significant developer following that is advancing its feature set in an open-source manner. So I think I'll stick with that, thanks.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-3848">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> No idea why you’d pay $2,495/CPU for your product when you can use memcached for free, but I guess it must have some benefit above and beyond memcached’s.

These also include Data integrity problems in Web Farm/Garden, Cache size limit, single point of failure and more.Obviously you will not afford your cache to become the source of data loss in case of its failure. Data integrity is also a big issue.The alternatives to ASP.NET does not have these problems. If you use third party distributed cache, there are many like NCache Express, it lets you cache ASP.NET without needing a code change. It is easy to use, download to try from http://www.alachisoft.com/download.htmlDevelopers involved in writing large applications and want to cache thier data can look for NCache, the paid version of distributed cache. It is feature-rich and gives you all the flexibility of caching<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-3847">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> As stated above, ASP.NET cache has drawbacks.

I really appreciated the demo and knowledge that you provided. I had inquired about the demo project (VS project) that you used during the demonstration on memcache. You had mentioned to look on your site for it. Any hints to where I might find this? The project you used/created seemed to be very helpful and would love to be able to see it again to get a head start on this technology.Thanks!Tom<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-1232">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Hi Jeff,
