Benefits	Features
High Performance	In-memory storage keeps fast-changing data on the server farm. Lowers data access and response times. Incorporates automatic client-side caching of deserialized data.
Scalable	Scales with measured linear throughput gain to farms with 64 servers. Automatically load-balances storage load across servers as the farm grows. Automatically scales delivery of asynchronous events across servers.
Reliable	StoreSafe™ scalable data replication protects mission critical data. Automatically recovers from a failed server in <10 seconds. Automatically "self-heals" after server failures. Automatically resends asynchronous events after server failures.
Powerful	Enables global access to all cached objects. Comprehensive APIs provide rich caching capabilities, such as distributed locking and object dependencies. Allows fully parallel query of the distributed cache. Automatically removes least recently accessed objects when memory limit is reached.
Easy to Use	Transparently stores ASP.NET session state. Caches application data across a server farm. APIs provide access for all Microsoft .NET languages, C/C++, and Java. Integrated remote management. Servers easily can be added or removed. Easy to configure - "Install and forget." Provides seamless 32/64-bit and Windows/Linux interoperability.
Cost Effective	Low cost to license and low TCO ensure fast return on investment. Offloads your DBMS. Runs directly on the server farm. Remote Client Option allows the cache to be shared across multiple Web and application server farms.
Compatible	Supports separate storage for multiple ASP.NET applications. Implements full object locking for Web hits from multiple browser frames. Object timeouts track ASP.NET settings. Handles SESSION_START event to detect new sessions.
