I am excited to announce that NorthScale Membase Server 1.6 Beta3 is now available and ready for download. This beta release adds a lot of new functionality and reflects most of what you’ll find in the final product. Highlights include:

• Windows support
• Multi-tenancy – allows multiple buckets on a single cluster including bucket quotas
• “Cluster Overview” as a new monitoring dashboard
• And lots of small improvements and bug fixes, of course!

Let’s take a look at these features in a bit more detail: Windows support is by far one of the most frequently requested features, and we are very pleased to offer it with this beta release. Beta3 provides 32-bit Windows support, with 64-bit support on the way (Note: The 32bit binary runs just fine on Windows 64-bit but is subject to the 32-bit memory limits). The Windows version provides the same feature set as our Linux version.

When I first started developing software, it was always my intent to write Windows software.Then of course a friend of mine told me about this new OS called Linux. To make a long story short, I have been immersed in the Linux world for the past 17 years. More recently, at NorthScale, we've wanted to add support for memcached - particularly the NorthScale Memcached Server - on Windows. So, I've become well-aquainted with not only Windows, but the Mingw compiler and the Msys *NIX-like environment.
