Is Redis cache effective for simple windows application(management software)?

I want to implement caching on a simple desktop application. And I am using WPF .NET Framework. So, is Redis cache could be effective considering the portability? Or is there any best option available?

    I don’t suggest using Redis cache for the WPF desktop app. Why? it makes your application depends on a third-party app. it seems in .Net there is a solution for caching in-memory and persisting on a file. You can find more about it on this LINK

    If you need a cache for a simple solution, I suggest you use the InMemory cache. But if you are making a complex solution you should definitely consider a Distributed Cache (e.g. Distributed Redis Cache
    ), and the reason is that Distributed Cache is:

    1. Is coherent (consistent) across requests to multiple servers.
    2. Survives server restarts and app deployments. And that’s because your cache is
      usually in a different location (e.g. Azure)
    3. Doesn’t use local memory.
    4. Is scalable

    Memurai could be an option. It is a native Windows port of Redis.
