Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Spaces

Aggregates high-volume, low cost storage into Storage Pools. These are sliced into Storage Spaces, which can be striped, mirrored, or use parity.

Storage Tiering*

Storage Pools can mix HDD & SSD & automatically move hot data to SSD to increase performance.

Scale-Out-File Server

Multiple file servers provide increased performance & resiliency, creating clustered storage pools & spaces
