Per Microsoft,
"For Web applications, AppFabric provides caching capabilities to provide high-speed access, scale, and high availability to application data.
For composite applications, AppFabric makes it easier to build and manage services built using WindowsWorkflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation."
