BranchCache enables clients to securely retrieve content from within the branch office instead of having to retrieve it from the server hosting the content. Depending on the deployment mode, the content can be retrieved from other clients in the branch office or from a hosted cache server in the branch. A client can only retrieve content from within the branch if it is authorized by the server to do so. The use of BranchCache reduces costs on the wide area network (WAN) link that connects your branch offices to the data center or headquarters and increases download speeds for content that has already been downloaded into the branch office.
