MICROSOFT® CLOUD OS STORAGE SPACES The Storage Solution of Choice for Windows Private Cloud Microsoft Cloud OS Storage Spaces provides a highly available and high performance storage solution for hypervisors, utilizing SMB 3.0 over 10GB ethernet. Key Features Choose your own pool-level data protection strategy because not all data is of the same importance, or has the same performance requirements. Define your own solution with support for highperformance MIRROR, extra redundancy TRIPLE MIRROR, and space maximizing PARITY with multiple pools in the same JBOD enclosures. Connect hypervisors to a storage solution via SMB 3.0 with RDMA support and lessen the load on hypervisor CPUs, while allowing the use of SMB 3.0 multi-channel. This drives an increase in network throughput, and adds fault tolerance and load balancing. Scale up to a storage solution of two storage servers and four JBODs, before scaling out using scale-out file system (SOFS) to a separate physical cluster, all grouped together in the same logical namespace. Create segregated administrative domains with ACLs per pool to segregate business units, and as a Windows feature support for Active Directory Domain Services is fully integrated. Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) meet the compliance objective of data at rest encryption. Utilize industry-proven standardized components, such as Dell and Supermicro hardware, alongside intelligent software without the inflated cost from traditional storage solutions, and still experience the same high performance, and resiliency.
