About

Replaces Alfresco Community’s default in-process caching with an Apache Ignite-based distributed cache, enabling:

  • Horizontal scaling — multiple ACS/Share instances share cache state and exchange invalidation messages
  • Off-heap and disk-based caching — dramatically larger cache without GC pressure
  • Improved single-node performance — even without clustering, off-heap caching reduces JVM heap pressure

Requires Acosix Alfresco Utility. Not supported on Alfresco Enterprise Edition (which has its own proprietary clustering).
