This means you have little decision data when there are problems, or when you’re considering new investments in Memcached to improve performance or to scale your site.

Gear6 Web Cache provides rich, easy-to-use management and reporting capabilities. Its management interface allows you to view aggregated performance statistics, or to drill down at will to the level of individual instances.
