High availability with iSCSI and
NFS
• Virtualization of storage with Storage Pools and Storage Spaces
• Storage resilience and availability with commodity hardware
• Resiliency and data redundancy throughn-way mirroring (clustered or unclustered) or parity mode (unclustered)
• Utilization optimized through thin and trim provisioning and enclosure awareness
• Integration with other Windows Server 2012 capabilities
• Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial AT Attachment (SATA) interconnects

ENTERPRISE-CLASS FEATURES ON LESS
EXPENSIVE HARDWARE
Maximize capacity by removing
duplicate data
• 2:1 with file shares, 20:1 with virtual
storage
• Less data to back up, archive, and
migrate
Increased scale and performance
• Low CPU and memory impact
• Configurable compression schedule
• Transparent to primary server workload
Improved reliability and integrity
• Redundant metadata and critical data
• Checksums and integrity checks
• Increase availability through redundancy
Faster file download times with
BranchCache
Source: “Microsoft Internal Testing"
• Highly available, shared data store for SQL Server databases and Hyper-V workloads
• Increased flexibility, and easier provisioning and management
• Ability to take advantage of existing network infrastructure
• No application downtime for planned maintenance or unplanned failures with failover clustering
• Highly available scale-out file server
• Built-in encryption support

• Automatic detection and use of multiple network connections between SMB client and server
• Helps server applications be resilient to network failure
• Transparent Failover with recovery of network failure if another connection is unavailable
• Improved throughput
• Bandwidth aggregation through NIC Teaming
• Multiple nodes/CPUs for network processing with RSS-capable network adapters
• Automatic configuration with very little administrative overhead

fileshares for business critical applications
• Failover transparent to server applications with zero downtime and with only a small I/O delay
• Support for planned moves, load balancing, operating system restart, unplanned failures, and client redirection (scale-out only)
• Resilient for file and directory operations
• All servers involved should have Windows Server 2012

• Reduces server downtime and user disruption by orchestration of cluster node updates
• Maintains service availability without impacting cluster quorum
• Detects required updates and moves workloads off nodes for updates
• Uses Windows Update Agent or extensible plug-in
