Creating cache services instead of providers

The Provider Model is common in .NET Framework as we might know some like RoleProvider, ProfileProvider, MembershipProvider and so on. I want have something similar for cache, my application can switch to a different cache system just by changing some configuration element. So Provider Model seems a good approach to follow.

Reading more on some articles from active guys Provider is not a pattern, PROVIDER MODEL IS A SOLID PATTERN, The Provider Model Pattern, Really… I have my own choosen

1. A simple Cache Service interface

    T Get<T>(string key) where T : class;
    
    bool Set<T>(string key, T value) where T : class;
    bool Set<T>(string key, T value, TimeSpan expiry) where T : class;

    bool Remove(string key);

2. An InMemoryCache implementation

This implementor uses the system MemoryCache, it is an Adapter to MemoryCache

3. A RedisCache implementation

This service uses Redis Client to perform connection to Redis server and the serialization methods from SerializationMaster to serialize/deserialize string to object of any type.
