This document discusses using Windows Server 2012 to provide highly available and scalable file shares for virtual machines. It recommends using a CSV (Cluster Shared Volume) on a SAN (Storage Area Network) with Fibre Channel HBAs, placing VMs and their VHD files on the CSV. Then configure SMB 3.0 file shares pointing to the CSV to provide SMB access to the files for many servers. It also lists Microsoft resources for designing, deploying, and managing virtualized environments and services using tools like System Center.
