Configuring session state providers

In the Sitecore Experience Database, you can use a session state server to share all your contact sessions across different browsers and devices. Configuring session state is particularly important if you have deployed a multi-server, fully scalable environment with clusters of content delivery or processing servers.

Sitecore is deployed with an InProc session state provider by default but we recommend that you use OutOfProc session state providers if you deploy more than one CD server.

Sitecore Experience Platform supports the following session state providers:

• Microsoft SQL Server
• Redis

These providers support the SessionEnd event that the xDB needs to track website visits.

To configure any OutOfProc session state providers, see the Sitecore documentation.
