The global catalog is a distributed data repository that contains a searchable, partial representation of every object in every domain in a multi domain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest. The global catalog is stored on domain controllers that have been designated as global catalog servers and is distributed through multi master replication. Searches that are directed to the global catalog are faster because they do not involve referrals to different domain controllers.
