Windows Server 2012 BranchCache feature provide IT administrators to optimize bandwidth between remote offices. Optimizing WAN links when end users access files on remote sites over WAN, BrachCache technology allows caching of these contents. At remote sites, data is stored on a dedicated BranchCache server as an offline copy. You may also store this cache data across client computers in smaller deployments. When clients try to access the data in the central office, BrachCache transparently redirect clients to the local copy. This provides a lot faster service compared to going over the WAN link.
BranchCache allows IT administrators to:
* Implement a distributed infrastructure with reliable access to data in central office
* Support cloud solutions where WAN connection is not running at optimal speed
* Save cost by reducing the bandwidth used by clients.
* Implement WAN optimization with native Microsoft solutions
