Windows Server AppFabric Beta 2 for Vistual Studio 2010 has been released

Windows Server AppFabric Beta 2 for vistual Studio 2010/.net Framework 4.0 has been released, see Endponit blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/ Endpoint/archive/2010/04/26/windows-server-appfabric-beta-2-refresh-for-visual-studio-2010-net-4-rtm.aspx. I installed a bit, the installation experience than the BETA1 has a great improvement. Let's introduce Windows Server AppFabric.

Windows Server AppFabric facilitates developers to start building a new generation of composite applications and provides administrators with the ability to control and manage these programs. Windows Server AppFabric Consolidates technologies previously named "dublin" and "velocity", providing developers with the integration technology needed to build, control, and manage composite applications that span servers and cloud-side platforms.

Windows Server AppFabric has three core features: Distributed caching, workflow management, and service management. For WEB applications, Windows Server AppFabric provides caching, caching, extensibility, and high availability features for application data, thereby avoiding unnecessary calls to data sources. For composite applications, Windows Server AppFabric makes it easier for users to build and manage services built by Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation. Windows Server AppFabric can effectively simplify the development, deployment, and management of these composite applications.

Distributed caching:

This distributed memory cache platform is ideal for developing a 3H (high scalability, availability, performance) application system that allows memory fusion (fuse) of multiple servers into a large memory cache, Make it easy for your application to use these memory to complete the application acceleration, but also to reduce the load on the database. This Velocity is much more complicated than the memcached I used before.

The main features of Windows Server AppFabric Caching are: Any CLR object that can be serialized can support the size of the data cache with a simple cache API: The server architecture of hundreds of hosts can be supported, configured to differentiate between small, medium and large-scale The adjustment of the configuration, and through the network Access service to support dynamic sizing, can add or subtract nodes at any time to support high availability architecture automatic load balancing with Event tracing for Windows (ETW), System Center and other mechanisms for integrated management and monitoring provided with ASP.net Seamless integration, storing session data in cache, or caching application data under a WEB farm architecture, reducing the load of database access

Workflow Management and service management

The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) frameworks have been extensively improved in the. NET Framework 4. NET developers can use these technologies independently or jointly. It can also be managed and managed by AppFabric, Dublin it provides WF hosting and management extensions for IIS and was.
