Distributed cache

Access Decision Service (ADS) supports distributed caching where attribute values from attribute connectors can be cached and replicated across multiple ADS instances.

Advantages​

This feature stores attribute values across a distributed network of ADS instances according to the attribute cache configuration in the domain configuration file. It provides improved performance, reduced workload, and cost savings. More specifically, distributed caching offers:

  • Improved performance through attribute value replication.
  • Uniform and consistent response times across all nodes.
  • Reduced workload on downstream attribute sources like databases and LDAP.
  • Cost savings by optimizing resource usage.
  • Seamless scaling with cache warming for new nodes.
  • Cache preservation during software upgrades.
