Cache
The appfabric cache service combines the memory of multiple computers to provide a unified cache view for applications. Applications can store any serializable CLR object without worrying about the location where the object is stored. You can add more computers as needed to achieve scalability. Appfabric cache service also allows you to store data copies through clusters to prevent data failures. The appfabric cache service includes ASP. NET session provider objects so that ASP. NET session objects can be stored in the distributed cache without being written to the database. This will enhance the performance and scalability of ASP. NET applications.
The appfabric cache function provides a distributed memory cache platform for developing scalable, available, and high-performance applications. The following are key features of the appfabric cache function:
· Cache all serializable CLR objects and provide access through simple cache APIs
· Enterprise Support: dozens to hundreds of computers
· Can be configured to run as a service accessed through the network
· Supports regular cache Configuration
· Supports Dynamic Scaling by adding new nodes
· High Availability: by storing cached data copies on different cache hosts, the continuous availability of cached data is supported.
· Automatic Load Balancing
· Integration with management and monitoring tools (such as Windows event tracking (ETW) and system center.
· Provides close integration with ASP. NET to cache ASP. NET session data in the cache without writing data into the source database. It can also be used as the cache of application data and cache application data through the entire web field.
