Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education Requirements
This article details the requirements and recommendations for using Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (MCC).
Licensing requirements
-
Valid Azure subscription: To use the Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (MCC) service, you'll need a valid Azure subscription that can be used to provision the necessary Azure resources.
If you don't have an Azure subscription already, you can create an Azure pay-as-you-go account, which requires a credit card for verification purposes. For more information, see the Azure Free Account FAQ.
The Azure resources used for MCC will be free to you during this public preview.
-
E3/E5 or A3/A5 license: Your organization must have one of the following license subscriptions for each device that downloads content from an MCC cache node.
- Windows Enterprise E3 or E5, included in Microsoft 365 F3, E3, or E5
- Windows Education A3 or A5, included in Microsoft 365 A3 or A5
Cache node host machine requirements
General requirements
- Any previous installations of MCC must be uninstalled before installing the latest version of MCC.
- These listed endpoints must be reachable by the host machine.
- The host machine must have no other services / applications utilizing port 80 (for example, ConfigManager or Distribution Point).
- The host machine must have at least 4 GB of free memory.
Additional requirements for Windows host machines
- The Windows host machine must be using Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022 with the Latest Cumulative Update (LCU) applied.
- Windows 11 must have OS Build 22631.3296 or later
- Windows Server 2022 must have OS Build 20348.2227 or later
- The Windows host machine must support nested virtualization.

- If using RHEL, the default container engine (Podman) must be replaced with Moby
Networking recommendations for host machines
- Multiple network interface cards (NICs) on a single MCC instance aren't supported.
- 1 Gbps NIC is the minimum speed recommended but any NIC is supported.
- The NIC and BIOS should support SR-IOV for best performance.
