What is Infinite Cache?
Infinite Cache allows you to increase the amount of data maintained as in-memory cache by distributing the cache across existing inexpensive commodity hardware farms. Compression of cache data allows storing entire databases in a durable fashion for lightning fast performance. By storing more or all data in a RAM based cache there are many fewer disk operations which are much slower. Infinite Cache is also completely transparent to applications and so requires no special caching code by application developers to safeguard the durability of any write operations.
