IaaS Vision – SMB3 is a key component• Dramatically lowering the costs and
effort of delivering Private Clouds
• Disaggregated compute and storage• Independent manage and scale at each layer
• Industry standard servers, networking and storage• Inexpensive networks• Inexpensive shared JBOD storage

Cluster Shared Volumes in Windows Server 2012 R2
Enables the Private Cloud
• Access to storage from any node despite physical storage connectivity
• Common namespace that is consistent across all servers
• Resilient and Reliable
Cluster Shared Volumes in Windows Server 2012 R2
Enhancements• Automatic distribution across servers• Scale out file server optimization
• Rebalancing of CSV ownership
• SMB improvements• Dedicated SMB instances for CSV traffic
• Storage feature integration• Dedupe, Tiering, ReFS, ….
• More• Virtual disk (storage pools)• CSV read cache

Disk resiliency with storage spacesSimple
• 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

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.

||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.
1. OEM ships server to distributor without an OS installed.
2. OEM ships Windows Server ROK directly to distributor.
3. Distributor offers OEM server hardware with OEM Windows Server ROK to resellers.
4. 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.
