The Memcache module also provides a session handler (memcache).
Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.
This extension uses libmemcached library to provide API for communicating with memcached servers. It also provides a session handler (memcached).
