Is there a "State Server"

[C P]

I've seen references to using an out of process state server in cases where
you need to maintain session state in a web server farm. I think SQL Server
will be too slow to manage the state that I want to manage, and I can't find
any actual product called a "State Server" on the MS site. Is there such a
thing, or is this something I need to build myself?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi, Chris,

The following should help you get the idea of the session-mode "StateServer"
in comparison with the other modes:

Thanks, I'm more clear on how this works now. How much of a performance
difference have you found between using the state service on another machine
vs. using the standard inprocess session state? (Obviously network speed
etc. will be a factor here, but did you find it to be a problem)?

Thanks,
Chris
