Configuration Options (Velocity)

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Microsoft project code named "Velocity" offers many options for specifying and storing the configuration details that are used by the cache cluster and the client application. This section of the document set describes the configuration options available and considerations for selecting them.

As seen in the following diagram, cache-based applications have the option of specifying configuration information programmatically or by using an application configuration file. There are three options available for storing cluster configuration settings: in XML, in a SQL Server Compact data file, or in a SQL Server 2005 or later database. You can choose the option that best meets the needs of your application and infrastructure.
