* OSLO will bring UML back to Microsoft Camp

But it seems considering the wide acceptance of UML in most of the non-Microsoft design tools, Microsoft has decided to bring it back into its tools with the release of OSLO designers. Great Move !!

Microsoft's Project “Velocity” is a distributed in-memory application cache platform for developing scalable, available, and high-performance applications. “Velocity” fuses memory across multiple computers to give a single unified cache view to applications. Will be ideal for following kind of applications : There is a considerable number of data requests that are mostly read (e.g. product catalogs) Applications that can tolerate some staleness of data Applications that can work with highly partitioned data (e.g. session data, shopping cart) Applications that can work well with eventual consistency Very true, Its very important that such kind of caching platforms like Enterprise Library Caching Block & Velocity are used after analyzing the requirements of application else you may get all the negative effects while expecting positive ones. Hope to see EntLib Caching Block integrated with Velocity soon. Velocity Home Page
