I believe Velocity supports both plain partitioning, similar to Memcached, and replication to avoid such failures.

As compared to NCache, when a velocity server goes down the data is lost. In NCache the data is redistributed to the other nodes on the cluster. This is in the case of both sudden crash of the server or a graceful shutdown. As compared to memcached Velocity causes more traffic on the network and a sudden jump to CPU and network usage. Seems like Velocity needs a more stronger archeitecture to support such advanced features. Except for the price, NCache would still be my choice of in memory cache. I wish NCache would spend some time evaluating Velocity. From all the posts I have seen around, it seems like Ncache is just pasting the same blog text everywhere.

So, a dual-core CPU is considered 1 CPU. NCache is the most featureful .NET distributed cache and offers a lot of very important features that Memcache does not provide. To start with, you get 100% uptime due to dynaimc clustering in NCache. Then, you have various caching topologies including Mirrored, Replicated, Partitioned, and Client Cache. So, you really need to see the cost to your business of downtime or inability to scale. NCache comes with full support as well (including 24x7 support option). Hi Alex,

I can't find anywhere on the site that says whether that is per-core or per physical chip, but still $2000-$8000 per server when we typically spec out servers that cost less than $2000 for high-end 8-core systems is way too much (especially given the free availability of memcache).

We had it installed on our vps and is currently running without any hiccups yet. I know the guys at Server Intellect can install this on a VPS or dedicated server.
