ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week rolled out the next community test version of a distributed cache platform code-named "Velocity" that promises to speed up .NET-based applications.
Velocity CTP3 was published on Tuesday and can be downloaded here. The CTP3 represents pre-beta testing; it's of interest mostly to technical reviewers.
The enhancements in the CTP3 include a new "cache notifications" capability, plus the option to manage cache clusters using SQL Server, according to Microsoft's announcement. Performance and security were also enhanced with this release, the Velocity team indicated. The application programming interfaces were changed to reflect more typical Microsoft namespace conventions.
