Scale-out File Server SMB Direct Hyper-V VHD 50% improvement for small IO workloads Efficiency Increased efficiency and density of hosting workloads with small I/O’s such as OLTP database in a VM Optimizes 40Gbps Ethernet and 56Gbps InfiniBand Performance 50% improvement for small IO workloads with SMB over RDMA Increased 8KB IOPs from ~300K IOPS to ~450K IOPS per interface

SMB File Server 2 File Server 1 Storage Spaces \\SOFS\Share2 Share1Share2 Share1Share2 CSV and SMB shares automatically rebalanced Improved network efficiency through drastically reducing redirection traffic

Live migration can stream over multiple networks for improved bandwidth Live Migration can take advantage of high speed networking RDMA enables offloading CPU resources to NIC during live migration
