The Velocity server is a pretty small download at under 3MB so it wouldn't hurt to try it out, even if you're on a slow link.
The source code to use Velocity looks a little like this:
CacheFactory myCacheFactory = new CacheFactory();
Cache myDefaultCache = myCacheFactory.GetCache("default");
myDefaultCache.Add("key1", "value1");
string retrieved = myDefaultCache.Get("key1") as string;
There's more source code available for using cache regions, but you don't really need it to get started.

Hi Hadi!
Thanks for your comment. It's always nice to hear from someone involved in the development of the product.
I've read about NCache but haven't met anyone who has used it and can share their experiences with it yet.

Hi Nitin,
NCache is currently being used by couple of large European airlines, one of the top 3 banks in the world, health insurance companies and many more in different verticals. People donot blog much about it as some of them have the company policy. This is also one of the reasons I am not mentioning their names here.

If you're in search of other caching systems, take a look at:
Shared Cache (Open source)
You can find the results of tests performed with Shared Cache on Roni Schuetz blog
ScaleOut StateServer (Commercial)
They charge roughly $1,000 per server.
