Introducing Windows Server AppFabric Architecture Features

Distributed Caching Hosting & Management Capabilities

Connecting with the Cloud Q n A

Introducing AppFabric

• Windows Azure AppFabric

• Windows Server AppFabric

What is Windows Server AppFabric?

Extensions to Application Server role on Windows Server Platform

Enhanced hosting, management and caching capabilities

Allows faster, more scalable and more manageable applications and services

In its first release, it comprises of AppFabric Caching Services (remember Velocity?) AppFabric Hosting Services (remember Dublin?)

DISTRIBUTED CACHING

AppFabric Cache

Caches any serializable CLR object and provides access through simple cache APIs.

Supports enterprise scale: tens to hundreds of computers.

Configurable to run as a service accessed over the network

Supports dynamic scaling-out by adding new nodes Backup copy provides high availability Automatic load balancing

DEMOSimple Caching Client!

Asp.Net Caching Scenario

DEMOAsp.Net Caching Provider!

Setting up Asp.Net Caching Provider

<sessionState mode="Custom" customProvider="SessionStoreProvider"> <providers> <add name="SessionStoreProvider" type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheSessionStoreProvider, Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Client, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" cacheName=“YourCacheName"/> </providers> </sessionState>

HOSTING CAPABILITIESWindows Server AppFabric

Hosting and Management Extension to IIS7 using WAS Hosting and Management of WCF and WF Load balancing 100s of nodes Increased availability Easy to setup base configuration (replicated via

msdeploy.exe/xcopy/powershell) Event Collection via ETW for Windows Lifecycle management of durable workflows
