7. #Today? And Now 
CMD/PS + GUI= NEW TOYS

8. #1 HOT !!!
Why ?
Storage Spaces

9. Storage Spaces – overview
Storage Virtualization
Resiliency & data
redundancy
Data Avaliability
Optimized by thin /
trim provisioning

10. Storage Spaces - Management
Server Manager
Microsoft
Applications
Storage and 3rd
Vendors
Windows Storage Management API (WMI & PowerShell)

11. Storage Spaces Pros
and
 Easy manage storage (reliable & scalable) with
reduced cost
 Add individual drives into storage pools – create a
signle entity
 Use simple cheap storage
 Provision storage as needed from storage pools
 Build storage pools on demand
 Try PowerShell for Microsoft Windows 8 and Windows
Server 2012
 Use SATA, SAS, USB, SCSI and CSV (not ReFS ones)
 Select Hot-Spares and automatic repair pools
 MMC, PowerShell so choose local or remote
managememt
Cons









Not supported on boot, system or CSV
10 GB + size
Add only un-formatted / un-partitioned drives
Simple storage pool = min one drive
Three drive minimum for using Parity
All drives in a pool must use the same sector size
Fibre-channel and iSCSI not supported
Storage driver must know the solution / compatibility
Removing a disk from a pool can corrupt data ..

12. #1 HOT !!!
DEMO
Storage Spaces

13. #2 HOT !!!
Why ?
ReFS

14. # ReFS overview
ReFS:
- Improved NTFS 
- Built in auto-detect data corruption (repair online)
- 2^64 clusters (64KB cluster size = 1 yottabyte or
quadrillion gigabytes)
- ReFS volume up to 18 quintillion files or 18 milion
milion files
- Each file up to 64 EB in size - > That’s Big Data 
- Designed for Storage Spaces

15. ReFS and NTFS Compare

16. #3 HOT !!!
Why ?
Deduplication

17. #3 HOT !!!
Dedup 
 Use less storage,
 Ensure that identical chunked
data is stored only once
 Block based, postprocess, transparent solution

18. #3 HOT !!!
Dedup 
MODELS:
 Source (prevend transferig data if
duplicate)
 Inline (when data is written)
 Post-process (background WS
2012)

19. #3 HOT !!!
Dedup 
Other:
 SingleInstanceStorage in Windows 2000
 NTFS File compression
 NTFS Hard links

20. #3 HOT !!!
