Marcato Presentation on Sept. 2: Caching with Velocity
Please join us Thursday, Sept 2nd for the Twin Cities .NET User Group Meeting! Pizza will be served at 5pm, courtesy of ILM; Beverages will be provided by New Town. The speaker will begin at 5:15pm. The meeting will be held in the Microsoft Offices in Bloomington: 8300 Norman Center Dr., Suite 950.
Title: Everything You Wanted to Know About Velocity But Were Afraid To Cache
Microsoft’s AppFabric Caching (aka Velocity) offers a distributed caching solution, not unlike the popular “memcached” open source library. It allows you to increase scalability and performance by caching data physically (and logically) closer to the consumer. It can help you dramatically increase responsiveness of your apps and services, as well as relieve pressure on back-end resources. Come and hear about the concepts and terminology, as well as deployment considerations, typical usage patterns, pitfalls, and more.
