Disk resiliency with storage spaces Simple • Data is striped across disks. Mirror • Data mirrored to a duplicate disk. • Two and three-way mirroring. • Mirrored configuration with clustering for workloads. Parity • Data striped to all-but one of the disks. The remaining disk contains a checksum bit enabling data to be generated for a failed disk. • Parity with clustering for archives.
Hybrid storage pools & tiered storage • SSDs and HDDs used as different tiers. • Windows automatically tracks data temperature and moves them at sub-file level. • Write-back cache improves performance for real-world workloads. • Only hot regions of a file (VHD, database, etc.) need to move to SSDs, the cold regions can reside on HDDs. • Ability to pin files to different tiers Hot data Cold data Tiered space Hybrid storage pool SSDs HDDs
2012 R2 Data Deduplication Transparently removes duplication, without changing access semantics. Post-processing approach: Optimization jobs identify files. Chunking algorithm is applied to the files. Chunks are inserted into a chunk store and selectively compressed. Original files are replaced with reparse points. Remove primary data stream. Efficiently store, transfer and back up fewer bits.

Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Standard ROK How ROK works: 4 WSS 2012 Standard & WSS 2012 R2 Standard Edition is available on ROK 1 3 2 • OEM ships server to distributor without an OS installed. • OEM ships Windows Server ROK directly to distributor. • Distributor offers OEM server hardware with OEM Windows Server ROK to resellers. Reseller orders ROK kits and hardware from distributor, and may maintain inventory on premises. Reseller affixes the COA, installs the OS if requested and ships to the customer. Note: While customer can install OS, distributor or reseller must affix COA before server and ROK are sent to customer. Software does not have to be preinstalled. 36
