Distributed Shared Memory in .NET

Are there any existing libraries/frameworks/products for a distributed shared memory system implemented in .NET, or easily accessible from .NET clients?

Googling gives some links to academic papers, but I couldn't find any real implementations.

Note: I am most interested in something that runs on a LAN, not in "cloud".

Oracle Coherence supports .NET clients via a number of APIs & technologies:

  • IIS session management support
  • REST APIs for data access
  • .NET memcache client support
  • .NET native (C#) Coherence API

It also supports native Java and native C++. Via the REST and memcache protocol support, it covers basically every platform & language.

Regarding "shared memory", Coherence has applications in production with 25+TB of "shared memory" data.

For the sake of full disclosure, I work at Oracle. The opinions and views expressed in this post are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of my employer.

There are many products that support .net c# client but are written in java language. i would advice you to check Oracle Coherence, VMware Gemfire and Gigaspaces XAP. they have have a .net clients. Gigaspaces also offer a combination of application server messaging and data grid all running on .net.

Maybe AppFabric aka Velocity?

A new Microsoft project, code-named Velocity, provides a distributed, in-memory cache. Velocity enables you to create scalable, available, high-performance applications by exposing a unified view of distributed memory for client application consumption.
