Configure the memcached servers

Bitrix products allow the use of a memcached servers pool to work with data cache.

This provides:

High productivity – due to the centralized usage of cache by web-application;
Reliability – due to the ability to withstand the cache subsystem to the faults of separate components;
Unlimited scalability – due to the addition of new memcached-servers.

Note. To use the memcached server pool you need the Web Cluster module which is not included in all the editions of Bitrix products.
