What is Microsoft Connected Cache?
Important
Microsoft Connected Cache is currently a preview feature. For more information, see Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews.
Microsoft Connected Cache is a software-only caching solution that delivers Microsoft content. Microsoft Connected Cache has two main offerings:
- Microsoft Connected Cache for Internet Service Providers
- Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (early preview)
Both products are created and managed in the cloud portal.
Microsoft Connected Cache for ISPs (preview)
