Announcing Beta 2 of the Windows Server AppFabric

Question

We are happy to announce Beta 2 of the Windows Server AppFabric.  You can learn more and download Beta 2 here.   

Today we are excited to introduce the Windows Server AppFabric Beta 2. AppFabric evolves the existing application server capabilities of Windows Server to make it easier to build, scale and manage Web and composite applications that run on Internet Information Services (IIS).

For Web applications, AppFabric provides caching capabilities to provide high-speed access, scale, and high availability to application data.  These capabilities are based on the technology previously code named “Velocity.”

For composite applications, AppFabric makes it easier to build and manage services built using Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). These capabilities are based on the technology previously code named “Dublin.”
