How to share data among all the views/controllers/users

I have a MVC application, I am using entity framework, There is a master table whose data is accessed among different views & controllers by all users.

I want to keep the data of this master table into some shared variable/session or anything so that it can be accessed by all users. As this is a master table it is data is common for all.

I tried using TempData, ViewBag but there data does not persist if we redirect to different views & controllers. I tried sessions as well, but I do not want to have each user keeping a copy in memory.

What is the best way to store such data in MVC application

You can put them in the Application:

Application["GlobalVar"] = 1234;

They are only global within the current IIS / Virtual applicition. This means, on a webfarm they are local to the server, and within the virtual directory that is the root of the application.

Use Runtime Cache object in ASP.Net MVC to keep all the common data. Cached data can be accessed fast and we have other benefits like expiring cache etc.

You are looking for Application State http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bf9xhdz4%28VS.71%29.aspx it is like session state but shared across all connected users (global session).
