With the new version, we get new features and functionality.
The following lists off the services available with SharePoint 2013 Enterprise,
and briefly explains what they do.
Access Database
Service 2010
Access Services 2010 is a service application that allows
users to modify and publish in SharePoint Server 2013 an Access web database
that was previously created in SharePoint Server 2010. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748653.aspx
Access Services
Access Services enables you to create and customize Access
apps for SharePoint. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj714714.aspx
App Management
Service
App Management Service is part of the new App support within
SharePoint 2013. This service, along with the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
Subscription Settings Service, have to be configured properly to support the
new App model. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236.aspx#ConfigureAppServices
Business Data
Connectivity Service
Business Data Connectivity Service allows you to pull in
external data sources into SharePoint, and treat them much like a normal
SharePoint list. This allows businesses to connect to existing line of business
applications with minimal effort. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681491.aspx
Central
Administration
This service is what provides Central Administration on the
server. Make sure at least one server in your farm has this running. I don’t
know if you can stop this on all servers, I haven’t tried, and I don’t
recommend it!
Claims to Windows
Token Service
The Claims to Windows Token Service (c2WTS) is a feature of
Windows Identity Foundation (WIF). The c2WTS extracts user principal name (UPN)
claims from non-Windows security tokens, such as SAML and X.509 tokens, and
generates impersonation-level Windows security tokens. This allows a relying
party application to impersonate the user. This might be needed to access
back-end resources, such as Microsoft SQL Servers, that are external to the
computer running the relying party application. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee539091.aspx
Distributed Cache
The Distributed Cache service provides caching features in
SharePoint Server 2013. The microblog features and feeds rely on the
Distributed Cache to store data for very fast retrieval across all entities.
The Distributed Cache service is built on Windows Server AppFabric, which
implements the AppFabric Caching service. Windows Server AppFabric installs
with the prerequisites for SharePoint Server 2013. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219700.aspx#cache http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219613.aspx
Document Conversions
Launcher Service
This service schedules and initiates the document
conversions. When SharePoint Foundation passes a document conversion request to
the document conversion launcher service, the service must call the appropriate
document converter. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa979484(v=office.14).aspx
Document Conversions
Load Balancer Service
This service balances the document conversion requests from
across the server farm. When it receives a converter request from SharePoint
Foundation, the document conversion load balancer service must return a URI to
the appropriate document conversion launcher service. SharePoint Foundation
connects to the specified launcher via .NET Remoting and requests that it
convert the specified document. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa979484(v=office.14).aspx
Excel Calculation
Services
Excel Services is a SharePoint Server 2013 service
application that allows users to share and view Excel workbooks. The service
application also enables data-connected Excel workbooks and work sheets to be
refreshed and updated from a variety of data sources. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219698.aspx
Lotus Notes Connector
Lotus Notes Connector provides connectivity for search to
crawl Lotus Notes content within a Domino database. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591606.aspx
Machine Translation
Service
Machine Translation Service provides automatic machine translation
of files and sites. When the Machine Translation Service application processes
a translation request, it forwards the request to a cloud-hosted machine
translation service, where the actual translation work is performed. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163145.aspx
Managed Metadata Web
Service
The managed metadata service application makes it possible
to use managed metadata and share content types across site collections and web
applications. A managed metadata service publishes a term store and,
optionally, content types; a managed metadata connection consumes these. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee424403.aspx
Microsoft SharePoint
Foundation Incoming E-Mail
The Incoming E-Mail service allows for users to send emails
to libraries within your sites. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262947.aspx
Microsoft SharePoint
Foundation Sandboxed Code Service
A sandbox is a restricted execution environment that enables
programs to access only certain resources and keeps problems that occur in the
sandbox from affecting the rest of the server environment. Solutions that you
deploy into a sandbox, which are known as sandboxed solutions, cannot use
certain computer and network resources and cannot access content outside the
site collection they are deployed in. Because sandboxed solutions cannot affect
the whole server farm, they do not have to be deployed by a farm administrator.
If sandboxed solutions have been enabled on at least one server in the farm, a
site collection administrator can deploy solutions to a run in a sandbox on any
server in the farm. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff535775(v=office.15).aspx
Microsoft SharePoint
Foundation Subscription Settings Service
This service was primarily used for multi-tenency support in
SharePoint 2010. In SharePoint 2013, it is also necessary for apps. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236.aspx#ConfigureAppServices

configures IIS to host the sites providing the SharePoint to end users.

that enables administrators to manage incoming requests and determine how
SharePoint Server 2013 routes these requests. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj712708.aspx

but can also contain other fields that you define http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806866.aspx

information to enable productive interactions so that users can collaborate
efficiently. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee662538.aspx
User Profile
Synchronization Service
The User Profile Synchronization Service facilitates the
creation of user profiles by importing data from directory services, such as
