Industry-standard JBOD
3/22/2018 5:49 AM Storage Spaces Virtualize storage: Transform low-cost, high volume hardware with Storage Spaces. High performance: Combine HDDs and SSDs in tiered Storage Spaces to meet demand from intensive workloads. Reduce costs: Eliminate complex and costly storage area network (SAN) infrastructure without sacrificing SAN-like capabilities. Flexible: Independently scale capacity and compute to grow with your business demands. Resilient: Multiple layers of redundancy across disk, enclosure, connectivity and file server nodes ensure highest availability.

Customer stories This list is animated. This list is animated.
“ By using Storage Spaces, we’re getting storage performance of 450,000 IOPS and roughly a gigabyte per second in throughput—more than 20 times the IOPS and four times the throughput of our SAN.” — Daniel Weissenborn, Solution Architect, ClearPointe “ In the past, a customer bought a SAN with expensive RAID [redundant array of independent disks] drives for an initial purchase price of more than $3,000 a terabyte. With Storage Spaces, our customers can use storage that costs less than $300 a terabyte.” — Rand Morimoto, President, Convergent Computing These and other case studies are available at Microsoft’s web site.

Storage Replica.

Storage Replica Protection of key data and workloads
Synchronous replication: Storage agnostic mirroring of data in physical sites with crash-consistent volumes ensuring zero data loss at the volume level. Increase resilience: Unlocks new scenarios for metro- distance cluster to cluster disaster recovery and stretch failover clusters for automated high availability. Complete solution: End-to-end for storage and clustering, including Hyper-V, Storage Replica, Storage Spaces, Cluster, Scale-Out File Server, SMB3, Deduplication, Resilient File System (ReFS), NTFS, and Windows PowerShell. Streamlined management: Graphical management for individual nodes and clusters through Failover Cluster Manager and Azure Site Recovery. STRETCH CLUSTER AND CLUSTER TO CLUSTER Site 1 Site 2

Storage Replica Replication Block-level, volume-based Flexibility
Synchronous & asynchronous SMB transport Flexibility Any Windows data volume Any fixed disk storage Any storage fabric Management Failover Cluster Manager Windows PowerShell & WMI Azure Site Recovery End to end MS Storage Stack

Stretch Cluster Single cluster Automatic failover Synchronous
The Hudson River

Cluster to Cluster Two separate clusters Manual failover
Synchronous or asynchronous

Server to Server Two separate servers Manual failover
Synchronous or asynchronous

Server to Self A single server replicating to itself (one volume to another) Seed data onto storage for shipment

Blocks, not files This is not DFSR This is not DFSR!
Replicating storage blocks underneath the CSVFS, NTFS, or ReFS volume Don’t care if files are in use Write IOs are all that matter to Storage Replica

Recommendations for Synchronous
Network latency ≤5ms round trip average Assuming the light speed vacuum ideal, 5ms is ~1500km round trip Reality: optical fiber reduces by ~35%, you cross switches, routers, firewalls, etc. Financial limits, availability End result: most customers end up 30-50km Network Bandwidth ≥1 Gbps network - end to end - between servers is a starting point (Windows Server logo requires 1Gb NIC) It depends on your IO and sharing of the pipe (SR may not be the only traffic for the DR site) Learn your IOPS math (125MB/s of IO = ~1Gb/s network usage) Log volume performance and size Flash (SSD, NVME, etc.) Larger logs allow faster recovery from larger outages and less rollover, but cost space

Recommendations for Asynchronous
Network latency Doesn’t matter Network bandwidth As much or as little as you need Depends on your write IO Log volume performance and size Same as previous slide

Test-SRTopology cmdlet
Checks requirements and recommendations for bandwidth, log sizes, IOPS, etc… Runs for specified duration Gives you a tidy HTML report with recommendations

Deduplication.

Deduplication in Windows Server 2016
Capability Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows Server 2016 Volume Sizing To scale, distribute files across multiple volumes, no larger than 8-10TB Use the size you need, up to 64TB Optimization Single job per volume Single CPU and Single I/O Queue Multi-threaded per volume All files optimized in parallel Auto load balancing of input queues and resources Backup Support Manual configuration per volume and per node using PowerShell Setting is an integrated usage type through UI, or with PowerShell ? And more…SMAPI interfaces, Rolling upgrade support, Nano Server support, caching integrated with CSV for better memory utilization, Defender support….
