Picking up he left off in April talking about Microsoft&#8217;s Scale-Out File Server, the whole concept of Software Defined Storage is abstracting the details of the storage hardware away from the actual storage process. Aidan digs into how mixtures of SSD and spinning drives to optimize performance using Windows 2012 R2 Storage Spaces reduces costs and simplifies getting significant amounts of storage without any custom gear. And as Aidan says, in the end, it&#8217;s all just Windows. Storage continues to evolve, and not just for the big enterprise folks &#8211; there are clustered storage solutions for small and medium businesses too!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><font style=\"background-color: #181818\" color=\"#999999\">Here is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dataonstorage.com\/info\/hyper-v_million_iops.html\" target=\"_blank\">whitepaper<\/a> that I refer to where 1,000,000 IOPS was achieved with a single JBOD tray. <\/font><font style=\"background-color: #181818\" color=\"#999999\">Here is the <a href=\"http:\/\/mwh-learn.azurewebsites.net\/?p=531\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a> that I produced that Richard mentions.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"background-color: #181818\" color=\"#999999\">You can subscribe to the podcast (<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/RunasRadio\" target=\"_blank\">RSS here<\/a>) via all the usual means, and you can download the MP3 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.runasradio.com\/default.aspx?showNum=386\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"background-color: #181818\" color=\"#999999\">Or maybe you would like to see how a new 2U Cluster-in-a-Box (for cloud, branch office and SME deployments) model from DataOn has hit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dataonstorage.com\/info\/2-million_IOPS_Cluster-in-a-Box.html\" target=\"_blank\">over 2 MILLION IOPS<\/a>?<\/font><\/p>\n<div id=\"scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:6b627d1c-133a-4468-accb-ae715e526713\" class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" style=\"float: none; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/Windows+Server+2012+R2\" rel=\"tag\">Windows Server 2012 R2<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/Storage\" rel=\"tag\">Storage<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/Storage+Spaces\" rel=\"tag\">Storage Spaces<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/Failover+Clustering\" rel=\"tag\">Failover Clustering<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/Hardware\" rel=\"tag\">Hardware<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recorded an episode of the RunAs Radio podcast as a guest with MVP Richard Campbell a couple of of weeks ago, where we talked about using Windows Server in conjunction with commodity hardware to build software-based storage solutions: Richard talks to Aidan Finn about Software Defined Storage.
