Platinum Cache is a caching system developed by DTS Inc. Japan for Microsoft Windows® based systems to minimize the storage bottleneck problems associated with today’s computer systems. DTS Inc has devised this caching system for Windows based machines so as to increase the system throughput. The system uses RAMDISK (a disk created from your system RAM) as a cache which has a high I/O rate when compared to our traditional storages. This disk behaves like any other hard disk partition e.g. it can be formatted with a file system. It can be seen using a symbolic link in My Computer. Note that the RAMDISK is a volatile media once the system is rebooted or crashed all your data will be lost. Its primary purpose is to store temporary files. When compared in terms of speed with a HARDDISK, a RAMDISK gives unmatched performance.

In a normal computer system, the processor is fast enough to carry out its tasks but our storage is too slow (when compared with the processor speed) that it cannot provide the data required in a small amount of time due to which overall system performance is decreased. Although today more high performance storages are becoming common in market but the performance mismatch between processor and storage devices still exists. These reasons create a strong base for introducing cache based solutions and Platinum Cache from DTS is one of these solutions.

Currently Platinum Cache is available for following platforms:
 
 • Microsoft Windows ***0 Advanced Server SP4
 • Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition SP2
 • Microsoft Windows Server ***3 Enterprise Edition SP1
 • Microsoft Windows Server ***8
 • Microsoft Windows 7 (**-bit/**-bit)

Platinum Cache currently supports two caching policies namely:
 
 • Write Through Policy
 • Write Back Policy
