“Caching-In” for SharePoint Performance by Sean McDonough

sos — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:17:00 GMT

Caching is a critical variable in the SharePoint scalability and performance equation, but it’s one that’s oftentimes misunderstood or dismissed as being needed only in Internet-facing scenarios. In this lively and fast-paced session, we’ll build an understanding of the caching options that exist within the SharePoint platform: object caching, BLOB caching, page output caching, and the Office Web Applications’ cache (for SharePoint 2010). We’ll examine each option in detail, discuss how it works, identify how it can be controlled, and cover common pitfalls that may impact its use. We’ll also walk through a handful of “what if” scenarios at the end of the presentation to test audience knowledge (just for fun, of course!) Those who attend this session will leave with the knowledge needed to leverage and control caching in their own SharePoint environments.
