We’re moving into a public beta of Dublin “Windows Server AppFabric”
which you can grab from HERE.
What does it mean – here’s a blurb from the site.
So Velocity (distributed caching mechanism) is rolled up into this Beta (previously
a MS Partner did some benchmarking on Velocity which you can find a great white paper HERE)
Previously myself and Scotty wrote a
hefty technical Dublin Course which the folks at TechEd loved – we did this on some
early bits of ‘Dublin’. Realtime monitoring + tracking as well as recoverability were
some highlights of our 3D Realtime maze process we built up in the labs.
Here’s a blurb from the AppFabric server (it’s a shame that SP2010 didn’t use this
framework for it’s WF hosting…but that would have impacted delivery)
Enjoy

Windows Server AppFabric has these core capabilities:
-
For Web applications, AppFabric provides caching capabilities to
provide high-speed access, scale, and high availability to application data. This
feature was previously codenamed “Velocity” -
For composite applications, AppFabric makes it easier to build and manage
services built using Windows
Workflow Foundation and Windows
Communication Foundation. This feature was previously codenamed “Dublin.”
