PrimeBase Media Cache Manager - 4.2.10

Very often a Web application stores images and binary data in a database using BLOBs (binary large objects). Upon request the Web application retrieves these BLOBs from the database and delivers them to the client.

If the web application is successful and under high load, retrieving these BLOBs can put a large strain on the database server. The reason is that it has to load the BLOB data from the filesystem and send it to the requesting Web application for every individual request. In this situation, given enough requests, even the fastest database server can become a bottleneck.

The PrimeBase Media Cache Manager completely relieves the database server of retrieving and delivering the BLOBs requested by Web clients. Also the BLOBs are cached to allow retreiving them as close to the client as possible (usually on the Web / Application Server computer).
