Storage Spaces Pros and Cons

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

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 ..

#2 HOT !!!

ReFS

Why ?

# 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

ReFS and NTFS Compare

#3 HOT !!!

Deduplication

Why ?

#3 HOT !!!

Dedup

Use less storage, Ensure that identical chunked

data is stored only once Block based, post-process,

transparent solution

#3 HOT !!!

Dedup

MODELS: Source (prevend transferig data if

duplicate) Inline (when data is written) Post-process (background WS 2012)

#3 HOT !!!

Dedup

Other: SingleInstanceStorage in Windows

2000 NTFS File compression NTFS Hard links
