Enterprise Library 2.0 provides a stand-alone caching block. However, if your .NET application is running in a server farm then your cache must be distributed in order to avoid data integrity problems in your cache.

NCache provides a distributed cache for Caching Application Block by implementing IBackingStore interface. You can plug-in NCache to your existing CAB based application without any code change. Just change your "app.config" file to add NCache to your "<backingStores>" and you're all set to start using distributed caching.
