Hi Anthony,

While it is technically possible to have memcached servers available between
datacenters, there are a number of drawbacks to doing this. The first is the
security issue of having the server accessible outside on the public
internet. As memcached doesn't have authentication, anyone could potentially
connect to it. This can be avoided by using good firewall rules or a VPN /
dedicated link. The second is the latency introduced by pulling data across
the net then pushing it to the client. The latency increase could easily
exceed the speed benefit offered by memcached.

Thanks for your question!

 - Alex
