July 13th I’ll be in Fort Smith, AR presenting at the local .Net User Group there on the topic of distributed caching with Velocity (Microsoft’s new distributed caching product).
This will be my second trip to the state of Arkansas as I was in Little Rock earlier in the year. Before hitting Fort Smith, we are planning a mini-vacation to Branson, Mo. We’ve been there before and it will be fun to spend the weekend there.
Here is the abstract and title for Monday night’s presentation:
Distributing Cache One Byte at a Time With Velocity
Have you ever used the built-in caching capabilities within Asp.Net? If you have you know that as long as you have one server to cache information it works really well. What happens though when you add an additional server? Or even better let's say you add an additional 10 servers! Now what? What happens is you've got data replicated all over the place and it gets out of sync. Not to mention it becomes really hard to manage as data gets changed. Enter "Velocity", Microsoft's new distributed caching product. In this session we'll do a thorough look at all of the pieces of Velocity from installation/deployment, configuration, the API and some of its features like regions and tags.
