    Hi

    With Project Server 2013 (Single Server Farm, with a separate SQL Server), do we need Distributed Cache? In laymans terms what does it do - does it impact performance? Can I just turn it off?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    It is recommended to have at least one server in the SharePoint farm running the distributed cache service:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219572(office.15).aspx

    But note, it should not run on the same server Project Server or Excel Services runs, this would mean you might need 2 SharePoint servers in the farm.

    Some links that might help you:

    Hi

    Thanks - what if we only have one server, are there caveats to turning it off? We don't have the option to have another server to run it off...

    Thanks in advance!

    I am not sure if having a single server is supported as the minimum requirement for a small data set needs 1 App + 1 WFE and 1 SQL (3 tier Architecture).

    Please refer Hardware and software requirements for Project Server 2013: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee683978(v=office.15).aspx

    Hi

    Thanks for the answer - surely there must be support for single server app / wfe server farms - or everyone will have to pay two SharePoint and two Project Server licenses?

    Hello,

    I would not turn it off - TechNet states one SharePoint server should run it so I do not recommend to go against TechNet :)

    Regarding your other question, a single App/Web server is supported. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee683978(v=office.15).aspx

    The minimum is 1 server that contains SQL and App/Web, the minimum recommended is 1 server with SP App/Web and 1 server with SQL.
