Everything You Wanted to Know About Velocity But Were Afraid To Cache

Microsoft's AppFabric Caching (aka Velocity) offers a distributed caching solution, not unlike the popular "memcached" open source library.  It allows you to increase scalability and performance by caching data physically (and logically) closer to the consumer.  It can help you dramatially increase responsiveness of your apps and services, as well as relieve pressure on back-end resources.  Come and here about the concepts and terminology, as well as deployment considerations, typical usage patterns, pitfalls, and more.
