Note: Don’t confuse this with Windows Azure AppFabric.
Microsoft released the Windows Server AppFabric Architecture Guide.
Windows Server AppFabric is a set of integrated technologies that make it easier to build, scale and manage Web and composite applications that run on IIS.
The guide contains 2 parts:
- Windows Server AppFabric Key Architectural Components: This section provides background about service hosting, the AppFabric Windows services (Event Collection service and Workflow Management service), the data storage tier, and the AppFabric security model.
- Enterprise-Scale AppFabric Architecture and Deployment Topologies: This section provides architectural guidance on optimizing, deploying, and configuring both the AppFabric service and the data tiers.
