NCache Implementation Case Study for Investment Firm

This case study details the implementation of NCache as a caching solution for a global investment management firm facing challenges with AppFabric. The firm, which provides a range of financial solutions, required a more effective solution to enhance transaction speeds and reduce database reliance for their trading application. The study outlines the pain points experienced with AppFabric, including frequent downtime and manual interventions during deployments. NCache was chosen for its seamless migration capabilities, high availability, and performance improvements. The application architecture, which includes a front-end based on Microsoft BizTalk and a back-end using an MSSQL database, was optimized through NCache's features, such as the Partition-Replica topology. The case study also discusses the application's ability to manage high transaction volumes and the benefits of reduced response times and database load. The firm plans to further leverage NCache for future cloud deployments and enhance its trading operations.
