It appears that Microsoft might have jumped the gun. The information on the page does reflect Preview 2, but the downloads are still from June. Hopefully it will drop soon. Additional information from the download page, "For community technology preview 2 (CTP2), Microsoft project code named "Velocity" offers several new enhancements that include a high availability feature, performance improvements, PowerShell integration, and new configuration storage options. There is also a new 64-bit version of "Velocity" specifically customized for x64-based computers."

The download is now live. However, it appears that the documentation has not been updated yet in the help file that is available for download.

Although Velocity has made progress from CTP1 to CTP2, it still leaves much to be desired. It will be some time before they provide all the important features in a distributed cache and even longer before it is tested in the market. I wish them good luck.

In the meantime, NCache already provides all CTP2 & V1, and many more features. NCache is the first, the most mature, and the most feature-rich distributed cache in the .NET space. NCache is an enterprise level in-memory distributed cache for .NET and also provides a distributed ASP.NET Session State. Check it out at http://www.alachisoft.com.

NCache Express is a totally free version of NCache. Check it out at http://www.alachisoft.com/rp.php?dest=/ncache/ncache_express.html.
