Work around for session for signalR

I have been looking online and have been reading that you cant use HttpContext.Current.Cache in a signalR hub class, so what would be the workaround if i wanted to be able to have each user have some cache data that is accessed in my hub methods.

EDIT:

This data would only need to be used inside my hub class, I would not need to access it elsewhere in my asp.net application. It would definitely need to be user specific though.

If you're only looking for the equivalent capabilities of the built in ASP.NET cache then you can simply spin up a static instance of System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache class. Then just access the static instance in your various hub methods.

Keep in mind this is a single server, in-memory solution. For more advanced, out of process, distributed caching solutions I would look to AppFabric (Azure or on-premises) or Memcached.
