“Velocity CTP3” Released

Today we release CTP3 of  “Velocity” (link). This is a highly scalable in-memory application cache for all kinds of data. By using cache, you can significantly improve application performance by avoiding unnecessary calls to the data source. Distributed cache enables your application to match increasing demand with increasing throughput by using a cache cluster that automatically manages the complexities of load balancing.

This release contains several security and performance enhancements, as well as the new cache notifications feature which allows clients to be notified when changes are made at either the key, region, or cache level. In addition, it also includes numerous refactorings to its API, making it more conformant to the .NET Framework guidelines as well as easier to consume.
