Setting an AppFabric memory limit v2014

The hardware recommendation guide mentions that for non-production systems, it is possible to install AppFabric on the IIS server. Having done so, the AppFabric server seems to grab most of the servers memory. Can this be restricted so to leave more memory available for the OS and IIS?

 


If AppFabric is installed on the IIS server, it is supported by restricting the AppFabric memory usage with the following command (from the AppFabric powershell):

Set-CacheHostConfig -HostName $host_name -CachePort 22233 -CacheSize 1024

Notes:

$host_name needs to be the name of the cache server.

1024 is the memory limit in MB. You can specify a different value. Microsoft recommends up to 50% of the server memory.
