AppFabric Caching

[3] Following installation, the AppFabric Configuration Wizard must be used to join each server to the cache cluster.

[4] An external file share or database is required to maintain the cache cluster configuration settings.

A common task is to create code that puts, retrieves, and removes objects from the cache.

If that does not succeed, the code retrieves the information with a database query and then stores the returned user data in the cache.

Originally, AppFabric Caching had several beta releases under the code name Velocity.

These technologies share similar features, such as the assembly name, namespace, and types.
