Their recent discussions about their CTP release clearly indicate that they have a long way to go before they can actually consider themselves to be in the same league as the incumbents. There are many question marks over the entire project as of now and only time will reveal the true nature of the product. In the meantime NCache has everything that any application needs as far as availability, performance and scalability are concerned. Our support staff is very diligent and highly praised for providing immediate and thorough help regarding any issue. To top it all off NCache is extremely easy to use. In fact in case of session caching it does not even require a code change. If you notice the features that Velocity has promised are already available in NCache. It offers • In-memory caching for single server or multi server configurations • Read-through, write-through, and right behind operations • Replicated Cache, Partitioned Cache, Client Cache, and Mirrored Cache • Faster and more scalability than StateServer and MS SQL Server • Distributed Output Cache • Seamless integration with Nhibernate and Entlib • Dynamic Clustering based on peer-to-peer architecture • No single point of failure NCache is mature and provides an immediate solution to the problems that developers face in terms of bottlenecks and single points of failure. Our enterprise/developer versions have a trial period of 60 days. We also have an absolutely free version called NCache Express for applications that run on a two node cluster (www.alachisoft.com/download.html).

I know a colleague who had them install on his server. I know it is still beta but looks promising. I know if you have a vps or server with Server Intellect they can implement this on your machine.
