If you are trying to build highly scalable solutions built on the .NET Framework with distributed in-memory caching (Maybe the Twitter guys should look into this smile_eyeroll), then you will want to take a look at the Velocity CTP 1.

Here’s the description of the project (from the site):

“Velocity” is a distributed in-memory application cache platform for developing scalable, available, and high-performance applications. Using “Velocity,” applications can store any serializable CLR object without concern for where the object gets stored because data is cached across multiple computers. “Velocity” allows copies of data to be stored across the cache cluster, protecting data against failures. It can be configured to run as a service accessed over the network or can be run embedded with the distributed application. “Velocity” includes an ASP.NET session provider object enabling storage of ASP.NET session objects in the distributed cache without having to write to databases, which increases the performance and scalability of ASP.NET applications.
