<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; letter-spacing: 0.25pt;">SharePoint 2013 introduces a new concept called Distributed Cache. The
Distributed Cache service, which is built on Windows Server AppFabric Cache, is
set to run in a collocated mode on all SharePoint 2013 Servers by default,
using up to 10% of the server's total physical memory. It’s essential for
maintaining the large amounts of information on your SharePoint Server,
ensuring that the information is fresh and readily available for the end user.</span><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; letter-spacing: 0.25pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">The Distributed Cache
service provides caching functionality to features (not to be<br />
confused with site features) in SharePoint Server 2013. The Distributed Cache
service is either required by or improves performance of the following
features:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Authentication<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Newsfeeds<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">OneNote client access<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Security Trimming<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Page load performance<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">Caching
functionalities, provided by the Distributed Cache service, enable the
SharePoint features listed above to quickly retrieve data without any
dependency on databases stored in SQL Server, as everything is stored in memory.</span><br />

the SharePoint Search Service Application. In SharePoint Search if you want to
include synonyms also in Search results for specific keywords, you need to
import a thesaurus file into SharePoint.</span><br />

SharePoint 2013 to make the synonyms available to the search system.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
