Can I set up an IIS server so that it will cache the most frequently used static files (binary) from disk into RAM, and serve from RAM on request?
Update: mod_mem_cache in Apache Caching Guide seems to be what I’m looking for. Any equivalent thing in IIS?
Thanks.
Here’s a bit on IIS 6.0’s file cache: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/a0483502-c6da-486a-917a-586c463b7ed6.mspx?mfr=true. As David mentioned, IIS is likely doing this for you already.
IIS 7.0 Output Caching
IIS 6.0 file cache behavior is included in IIS 7.0 output caching. You can define your own rules if the default timeout seems too short. Kernel Caching takes advantage of OS caching.
