Support for ASP.NET 2.0

Scalable, Transparent Session-State Support

Now you can eliminate a key bottleneck to scaling the performance of your ASP.NET 2.0 application! By hosting session-state in ScaleOut StateServer or ScaleOut SessionServer, ASP.NET 1.1 users have enjoyed scalable and highly available storage, high throughput, and fast response times in their Web farm applications. ScaleOut StateServer eliminates the cost and overhead of storing session-state in a database server and avoids the inherent limitations of in-process storage or database partitioning schemes. ScaleOut StateServer is the only alternative for session-state storage that delivers both scalability and high availability using a distributed, in-memory cache.

How it Works

ASP.NET’s built-in session-state providers lack the scalability needed by server farm applications, and in-process storage does not keep mission-critical session-state highly available. ScaleOut StateServer’s distributed, in-memory cache solves these problems and takes your ASP.NET application to the next level of performance and reliability. Storing session-state on the farm eliminates the bottleneck of a centralized database server and keeps data close to your application. Since any server can immediately access any session-state object, your load-balancer can avoid “sticky” sessions and eliminate hotspots on the farm. Patent-pending, intelligent data replication keeps your data safe and lets you easily take servers offline for maintenance. Easy-to-use .NET APIs give you the flexibility you need to customize your ASP.NET application.

With ASP.NET 2.0’s new session-state provider model and APIs, Microsoft’s industry-leading platform provides a new method for Web applications to access third party storage providers. ScaleOut StateServer makes use of ASP.NET 2.0's new session state provider model to seamlessly replace ASP.NET’s built-in providers after just a quick edit to your application’s configuration file. ScaleOut StateServer implements all of the interfaces, locking, and expiration logic that are required for a compliant session-state store, ensuring that your session data behave exactly as expected. ScaleOut StateServer installs as a standard Windows software service and uses your Web farm’s existing LAN.
