Standalone This setup consists of a single node containing

all the cached data. It’s equivalent to a singlenode cluster and does not collaborate with

other running instances.

Distributed Data is spread across multiple nodes in a cache

such that only a single node is responsible for

fetching a particular entry. This is possible by

distributing/partitioning the cluster

in a balanced manner (i.e., all the nodes have

the same number of entries and are hence load

balanced). Failover is handled via configurable

backups on each node.

Replicated Data is spread across multiple nodes in a cache

such that each node consists of the complete

cache data, since each cluster node contains all

the data; failover is not a concern.
