==Shared Caching==

Windows Azure Shared Caching provides caching as a managed service<ref name=SharedCaching>{{cite web|title=About Windows Azure Shared Caching|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh697519.aspx|work=MSDN Library|publisher=Microsoft|accessdate=13 February 2013}}</ref>. Unlike co-located or dedicated topologies, the cache is not hosted on Windows Azure roles in a single cloud service deployment. Instead, the cache is provided as a multitenant service with usage quotas<ref name=SharedCachingQuotas>{{cite web|title=Understanding Quotas for Windows Azure Shared Caching|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg185683.aspx|work=MSDN Library|publisher=Microsoft|accessdate=13 February 2013}}</ref>. The service is divided into tiers that range from 128 MB to 4 GB<ref name=SharedCachingFAQ>{{cite web|title=Windows Azure Shared Caching FAQ|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh697522.aspx|work=MSDN Library|publisher=Microsoft|accessdate=13 February 2013}}</ref>. In addition to storage capacity, each tier provides increasing processor and network capabilities<ref name=SharedCachingFAQ/>. Shared Caching provides a way for multiple cloud services to access the same cache.
