Distributed Lock Manager (DLM) for .NET?

Question

I've been examining several DLM's but most of them are written in JAVA or C++. Can't seem to find any service specifically implemented for .NET. Any idea or recommendations for distributed synchronization in .NET?

Do you need a lockserver or a distributed lock managing framework? – Uncontrollable

A lock server. No platform requirement. But needs to have a good .NET client library. – Behring

Answer 1

Have you looked into Apache Zookeeper?

ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services.

There is a .NET API for that at

I have looked briefly at zookeeper but did not see that there was a .NET client library. Will look into it. If it works as expected and can provide the type of synchronization im after then I'll accept your answer. – Behring

Quite late to the party, but for anyone interested now, ServiceStack's Redis client might be useful:

Answer 3

Just leaving it here for historic purposes. For a Distributed Lock Management in a .NET/Windows native environment you can use NCache. Its a distributed caching solution built using C# hence in .NET and integrates well with Windows.

Check the following post, its a good start

You can check my article about implementing DLM by Redlock.net and Redis Here
