SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

The best available proxy data also suggests that shared caches would have a minimal positive effect on performance. Removal also creates a performance cliff for content that assumes cache availability. De-duplication can prevent multiple copies on disk, but we're out of luck on reducing network costs. None of this holds.
